I'm a London-based editor and journalist working in magazines - B2B, customer and consumer. I trained as a reporter on local papers, then worked for BBC Network Radio News in London for eight years, before moving to magazines.

I've been launch editor of several titles: the monthly interior design magazine idFX; Total Retail; and Lighting Design, as well as an art magazine, Fine Art & Artists, produced for Petleys Gallery in London's Cork Street. I've also edited showguides for Grand Designs Live exhibitions, and I edit a quarterly contract title about Spanish design, called, appropriately enough, Spanish. I'm also a freelance writer.
