Monika’s journey into the world of design began in childhood, inspired by her mother's eye for interior design and her father's talent for photography. Growing up surrounded by her mom's endless wallpaper books and the pictures hanging in her father’s darkroom captured Monika's imagination, ultimately leading her to a distinguished career as a style journalist covering home design for over two decades. 

​

Her professional path began on staff at Traditional Home magazine before she became part of the founding editorial team of the original Domino magazine.  Following Domino’s closure, Monika established herself as a sought-after freelance writer and editor while based in New York, London, and Miami. During this period, her work appeared in prestigious publications including The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, Condé Nast Living, Martha Stewart Living, Bon Appetit, and special editions of House & Garden and Architectural Digest, among others. 

​

Today, Monika serves as the East Coast Editor of Better Homes & Gardens magazine, where she bridges the gap between the interior design trade and a consumer audience. Her multi-faceted role involves generating story ideas, producing photo shoots, and writing and editing print and digital copy. Additionally, Monika curates two annual tentpole platforms including BHG’s Color Stars Awards (recognizing 10 designers with distinct points of view on color) and the Stylemaker Event—a day of panel discussions and Q&A sessions with industry experts, followed by an evening cocktail party. This prominent event is attended by 100+ influencers with a combined social following of 10M and has garnered 81M print, digital and social impressions, and 400M media impressions. 

​

Monika has shared her expertise as a guest on national television programs, including ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS’ The Early Show, CNN’s Open House and HGTV. She has also been interviewed as a design expert for articles in national and regional American publications including USA Today and Hamptons magazine. 

​

Throughout her career, 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. She has also created content for international brands, including AERIN, Balineum, Compass, Stylus and more. Services include blog posts, ghostwriting, brand writing and trend forecasting as well as writing marketing emails and press releases. Monika also consults on interior design and renovation projects for private clients. Her 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).
