It’s here!

Last Friday, my first issue as editor of Image Interiors & Living hit the newstands. It’s an exciting and nerve-wracking experience, not least of all because you’re usually elbow-deep in planning for the next issue when the first one drops!

Still, I’m immensely proud of it, and of our team, including the incredible bunch of creatives that contributed – from the gorgeous photography of Mark, Doreen, Rincy and Julie to the stunning styling work of Jen, Ajda, and Ciara, to illustrations from Belinda, hand-lettering from Jette, and last, but definitely not least, great features from Tanya, Aideen, Lizzie, Lilly and Amanda. That’s a lot of talent! You can check out some highlights from the issue here.

It’s a huge privilege to have a job that enables me to be creative, to work on beautiful things with talented people, and I’m filled with gratitude this week, especially as I scroll through the lovely comments on Twitter, Instagam and Facebook.

As I type, Ben and I are sitting in Dublin airport, about to hop aboard a plane to London, where we’ll shoot and dance our asses off at a fun Fourth of July wedding, before spending the weekend exploring the city with friends (and eating all the things at Street Feast). Hope you have a fun weekend too!
