Growing up around her mother’s wallpaper books and the photographs developing in her father’s darkroom, Monika has spent the past twenty years channeling a love of design, composition, and storytelling into a distinguished career as an editor, writer, and brand consultant. Throughout her career, she has helped launch new magazines, refresh existing ones, and invigorate brands with strategic editorial content and creative partnerships. 

 

As part of the founding editorial team of Domino magazine, Monika helped shape a new voice in design media—the magazine won The Hot List Startup of the Year by Adweek and Advertising Age’s Launch of the Year, among other accolades. Monika later established herself as a sought after freelance writer and editor while based in New York, London, and Miami. During this time, her work appeared in prominent publications including The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, Martha Stewart Living, Bon Appetit, Livingetc, The Ritz Carlton Magazine, and Condé Nast special editions including House & Garden, Architectural Digest, and Condé Nast Living.  She was then hired by Better Homes & Gardens magazine to help refresh the storied, flagship brand. Most recently, Monika split her time between BHG and Real Simple, where she was Executive Editor, helping to usher the trusted title through a redesign. 

 

Monika is known for presenting aspirational visuals and ideas in a way that fosters meaningful connections with audiences through a foundation of service journalism. Her multi-faceted roles have involved generating story ideas, sourcing compelling imagery, producing photo shoots, and assigning, writing and editing print and digital copy covering home, garden, lifestyle, and culture. On the event side, she has launched, curated, and directed editorial programming for annual tentpole platforms and events, including BHG’s Color Stars awards and Stylemaker events. On the market front, Monika has traveled extensively in search of beautiful products to report on—from trade shows in Milan to flea markets in Paris to artisan shops in Jaipur. 

​

With a robust transatlantic network, Monika has also created content for brands in the US and UK, including AERIN, Balineum, Catchpole & Rye, Compass, Stylus, DesignHome and more. Services include brand and designer partnerships, trend insights, and ghostwriting as well as newsletters, content marketing, and PR. She also consults on interior design and renovation projects for private clients.

 

Monika's work has been published in the books Design*Sponge at Home (Artisan), Domino: The Book of Decorating (Simon & Schuster), and Domino: Your Guide to Stylish Living (Simon & Schuster); she has appeared as a design expert on national television programs (ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS’ The Early Show, CNN’s Open House, and HGTV); mentored students in the prestigious Publishing Course at Columbia University’s School of Journalism; and moderated panels at leading industry events.​
