Kylie McConville

I didn't follow a straight line to jornalism. I went to college to be a teacher (because I loved books and helping people) but when I realized I didn't want to do that anymore, I did the next (best) thing: I started writing "on the internet." I stopped teaching, got an internship working for a college-centric site (hi, College Candy!), and never looked back. Since that first job, I've worked for countless other digital media sites for more than a decade, helping build, launch, relaunch, re-relaunch, and lead successful, smart brands aimed at helping young people at various life stages and moments. Once, Beyoncé sent flowers to a writer for a piece we'd worked on together after she dropped Lemonade. It's the most important thing that's ever happened to me. Now, I'm the Editor-in-Chief of Apartment Therapy, and I work with our incredible editors to create content that solves your biggest design, organizing, cleaning, and DIY problems so you can live stylish, functional, and creative lives at home. I also helped launch Dorm Therapy, an AT Media brand that helps young people feel at home at school. Have an idea or a problem you need help solving? Email me! I'd love to help.
