Made in Bulgaria, raised in Morocco, and matured in the UK, I now live in Brooklyn. I've been writing about design for almost a decade.

​

I cover cities, buildings, objects, materials, and technology, with a particular interest in accessibility, biomimicry, branding, and the intersection of psychology and design.  

 

Currently, I am a contributing writer for Fast Company's Co. Design, and a contributing writer for Wired. My stories have also appeared in The Atlantic, CNN Style, Dwell, Bloomberg CityLab, Smithsonian, Curbed, Conde Nast Traveler, Metropolis, Architectural Digest, Eye on Design, Cultured, Next City, Wallpaper*, Blueprint, ICON, Dezeen, Suitcase, and elsewhere.

​

I am writing a family memoir about communist-era Bulgaria through the lens of the objects in the attic of my childhood home. 

 

I am also an experienced moderator, and have led a dozen panels about design and architecture.
