Hi and welcome!
I’m an award-winning journalist, sustainable fashion expert, and author of To Dye For: How Toxic Fashion Is Making Us Sick – and How we can Fight Back. Buy it in physical, audio, or digital form wherever you purchase your books.
I’ve written investigative pieces and deep dives on innovation, materials, and consumer trends for The New York Times, Wired, The Cut, Vox, Vogue, InStyle, Harper’s Bazaar, Quartz, Inc. Magazine, Glamour, Popular Science, Refinery29, Vogue Business, Craftsmanship Quarterly, and more. I’m also the founder and editor of EcoCult, a leading international information hub on sustainable and ethical fashion, where I and contributors explain the science and sustainability of fashion to shoppers and industry pros alike.
I frequently speak on and moderate panels on the topic of sustainability in New York City and around the world and conduct in-depth research for non-profit organizations looking for answers on how to move the industry forward. I’ve been interviewed on the topic of sustainability for W Magazine, the BBC, NPR, Reuters, Fortune, CBC, The Cut, Al Jazeera, Harper’s Bazaar, and Teen Vogue.
