Let’s face it, keeping up with the latest trends is exhausting – and expensive. By the time you’ve figured out what’s hot and what’s not, what was edgy and hip is now merely a blip….

And that’s where I come in. While you concentrate on doing what you do best- building a better publication, I’ll help augment the stylish bits.

From cutting-edge chic to the best and worst of Fashion Week. From beauty innovations to elaborate vacations, from pop culture elite to funky and offbeat, from classic interior design to cult obsession shrines. From foody faves to lesser-known restaurants still getting raves, from the cutting edge of tech to the second-rate dreck… I’ll help you to create customized lifestyle content that works for you.

With over a decade of content creation experience, I know what’s now, what works and what sells. For larger projects, I’ll assemble a team of award-winning writers, editors, copywriters, photographers, and stylists who are experts at what they do and have written for top web and print publications including CNN.com, The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, MSN, Yahoo, Glamour, Vogue, Women’s Health, USA Today, USA Weekend, Playboy, Better Homes & Gardens, The New York Times along with a host of custom content publications- maybe even yours!
