Senior Production Editor, Homes & Antiques
Rachel is Senior Production Editor at Homes & Antiques magazine. She started her career in publishing longer ago than she cares to remember... Rachel cut her teeth on Cross Stitch Crazy magazine, before moving to Cardmaking & Papercraft as editor. She has written for various UK publications including The Simple Things, Italia! and Perfect Wedding. She has a passion for decorating – her home is always in a state of colourful flux – and she can never resist an antique ceramic, especially if it has birds on it. Her party trick, meanwhile, is reciting the Farrow & Ball paint chart! At Gathered she will help you create a home that's bursting with personality and fun, with clever DIY hacks.
