Kelly Hushin lives in New York City where her start in journalism led her to an eventual career in social media. She has been writing about design since 2007, first as one of the founding editors of Boutique Design magazine, where she developed a love and appreciation for interiors that would never leave. Since then, Kelly has worked across various media adjacent industries, from PR to advertising and research firms; eventually coming back to publishing at Hearst Magazines, followed by Conde Nast. From there, she went to Meta, where she has spent the last five years helping global media companies on their social and advertising strategies. The one throughline for Kelly has been a passion for and commitment to editorial, particularly design and travel media. Along the way she has continued to write about travel and design whenever and wherever possible, for publications like Hospitality Design, Elle Decor, Metropolis, Esquire, Interior Design, In Kind and more. Her experience writing about design gave her enough confidence to embark on a small kitchen renovation in Queens in 2012. Since then, she's completed two additional gut renovations of NYC apartments, the second of which she narrowly survived (kidding, but maybe also not kidding). She has an undying passion for print magazines, mid-century design, Timorous Beasties wallpaper (if you don't know, now you know), theater and anything British. She daydreams about owning a townhouse in Islington, London someday and vacationing in the Cotswolds and the Italian Dolomites.
