About

I’m a journalist and author specializing in architecture and design, urban planning, and the environment. My book Radical Suburbs was published in April 2019, and until December 2019 I was a senior editor at CityLab. Prior to that, I was freelancing for publications including The Washington Post and The Atlantic. In 2017, I won the Sarah Booth Conroy Prize, awarded by the D.C. chapter of the American Institute of Architects, for my writing.

From 2006 to 2011, I was senior and then executive editor of Architect, which was shortlisted for a National Magazine Award for general excellence in 2011. I have a Ph.D. in literature from the University of Bristol in England and an M.A. from the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, and now live in Silver Spring, Md.
