About me

Rachel pic2I started my career as a trainee journalist in Australia, working on the Sydney Sunday newspaper, The Sun-Herald. In the early 1990s I moved to London where I worked on the Daily Mirror,  ultimately becoming Woman’s Editor.

I then moved into glossy magazines, first as deputy editor of the young women’s magazine, Company, and then as deputy editor of British ELLE where I was responsible for launching the magazine’s highly successful move into celebrity covers, liaising with Hollywood and UK publicists to secure A-list stars. I was also an organiser of the annual event, the ELLE Style Awards. I was then offered the job as editor of the interiors bible, ELLE Decoration UK; during my tenure it was short-listed as lifestyle magazine of the year, and I was short-listed as editor of the year.

I am now freelance and after a decade of living in France I now reside in Dorset, England. My current work includes being Lifestyle editor for Grazia UK magazine, writing for a range of publications including Sunday Times Style and the luxury title, Christie’s International Real Estate magazine.

My book Art at Home: collecting and curating art for the home was published in autumn 2023.

When in France I launched the travel website www.the-french-atlantic-coast.com.
