I am a writer, podcaster and comedy performer, but I am also an aspiring Eames chairman. I am originally from the Upper East Side of Manhattan and currently live near Hancock Park in Los Angeles with my husband and our two dogs Lulu and Milo. I am fascinated by all aspects of decoration and design. I once spent six months choosing a soap dispenser, and I don’t even remember its appearance. I like bright photos, exposure to the south, and any location that can be called a "village or town". There are currently more than 100 episodes of "House Hunter" on my DVR.
