Founder, Culturati Travel Design 

Tell us about you and your company. 

Giving up the travel world, with its endless exhilaration and enlightenment, simply wasn’t an option after 21 years as editor-in-chief of Travel + Leisure. Founded in 2018, Culturati Travel Design has been a way for me to merge my passion for art, architecture and design with my fascination for hotels, restaurants, shops and experiences that transcend the rest. It’s both going backwards in my life—to my academic studies in art history, my time in the late 80s and early 90s as editor-in-chief of HG/House & Garden, my almost lifelong obsession with decorating and fashion—and going forwards, as there are always new and more exciting secrets to uncover. I am lucky enough to have my own company, but also to be affiliated with the group of really smart people at Local Foreigner, which was founded by four young women, three of them out of Indagare, eleven years ago; I was the second independent contractor, but there are now 18 of us.
