I have been a journalist since 1981 when I started working at Texas Monthly magazine. Now I write almost exclusively about architecture, interior design, and food. My goal has always been the same: to convey my view of the truth concisely, and to report accurately. There's an intangible element that takes writing to another level, though, and that's the ability to say what you need to say in a revelatory way. I love writing about domestic life—what we eat, where we live, how we decorate—and I always hope that I've reinvigorated a reader's long-held notion about the ordinary.
