My Stories for the Brown Harris Stevens Design Blog



For over four years, I've really enjoyed writing features for the Brown Harris Steven blog about architecture, art and design. Brown Harris Stevens, the legacy real estate company established in 1873, has a robust blog covering design, lifestyle, homes, and more. The features I've written about architecture, real estate, design, and style have been leveraged into BHS social media posts and paid advertising to increase awareness and drive engagement; blog traffic has increased by 20%. The assignments have given me the opportunity to visit some fascinating locations in New York City and share them with readers. The city is filled with architectural history and interest; all you have to do is look up! You might enjoy my stories:
