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. Specializing in home, design, garden and lifestyle, she has helped launch new magazines, refresh existing ones, and invigorate brands with strategic editorial content and creative partnerships. She is particularly known for presenting aspirational visuals and ideas in a way that fosters meaningful connections with readers and audiences through a foundation of service journalism.

 

Monika began her career as part of the founding editorial team of the multi-award winning Domino magazine. Later she served as a contributing editor at Vogue, Bon Appétit, and Martha Stewart Living, helped create special editions of House & Garden, Architectural Digest, and Condé Nast Living, and freelanced for The Wall Street Journal, Livingetc and The Ritz-Carlton Magazine, among others. She was subsequently hired by Better Homes & Gardens to help refresh the storied flagship brand, and most recently served as Executive Editor working on BHG and Real Simple. 

 

With a robust transatlantic network, Monika also develops content for brands in the US and UK, counting AERIN, Balineum, Catchpole & Rye, Compass, Design Home, and Stylus, among past and present clients. She also produces photoshoots for brands and interior designers, and consults on interior design and renovation projects for private clients.​ And she has launched, curated, and directed editorial programming for major events—including BHG's annual Color Stars Awards and Stylemaker events—along with moderating panel discussions and emceeing keynote conversations.

 

As a trusted voice in design media, Monika has appeared as a home and lifestyle expert on ABC's Good Morning America, CBS' The Early Show, CNN's Open House, and HGTV. Her work has been published in three books: Design*Sponge at Home (Artisan), Domino: The Book of Decorating (Simon & Schuster), and Domino: Your Guide to Stylish Living (Simon & Schuster). And she has mentored students in the prestigious Publishing Course at Columbia University’s School of Journalism.

 

Across every role, a natural curiosity runs through Monika’s work. She is especially interested in the goals of a project—what a client hopes to achieve, what an audience hopes to gain, and how strong editorial direction can serve both, fostering brand loyalty and driving growth in the process. Her work ethic has earned her the nicknames “the elevator” for her ability to raise the bar and a “source-eress” for always digging deeper.
