Meet the Team
Danine Alati
Founding Editor & Editorial Director
A 25-plus-year veteran of the interior design industry, Danine cut her teeth at commercial design publication, Contract magazine (RIP!), where she worked for 11 years post-college, way before becoming a freelancer for AD PRO, DuJour, i+D magazine, Design NYC, among other design mags for the past eight years. While working at Niche media, which publishes city-specific luxury magazine—like Hamptons, Aspen Peak, Ocean Drive—she married her art director, and they now live in Brooklyn with their smart, spicy, hilarious son and adorable tuxedo kitten.
Dalene Rovenstine
Writer + Editor
A writer/editor with two decades of experience in magazines and digital media, Dalene has worked at brands like Entertainment Weekly, Tudum by Netflix, and TVGuide.com, where she essentially watched TV for a living. Besides her work in entertainment, she has contributed to Luxe Interiors + Design, Interior Design, Hamptons, Aspen Peak, and Real Simple. Dalene loves trying new restaurants, cheering for the OKC Thunder (her home team), and watching too much TV—though she doesn’t get paid for it these days. She says the best TV show for escaping reality right now is Heartland, a Canadian show about a family ranch, where nothing bad ever happens—even after 18 seasons!
Meredith Constant
Social Media Manager + Writer
A social media strategist, writer, and podcaster, Meredith has over 15 years of experience helping brands grow their online presence. Her niche is boutique hotels and food & beverage, because she likes pretty things and appetizers for dinner. She's a voice on the relationship between the media and the British Royal Family, with The Daily Mail calling her an "American internet sleuth"—she'll take it! Meredith has interviewed Anna Pasternak, Ellie Hall, and Nell Scovell for her Substack newsletter, Pulling Threads with Meredith Constant, and she co-hosts a podcast called Off With Their Headlines. Meredith resides in Colorado with five animals (3 kids, 1 anxious dog, and an emotional support cat for said dog).
Murrye Bernard, AIA, LEED AP, Writer
Murrye is an architect, writer, editor, and strategist. Early in her career she traded blueprints for bylines: Her work has appeared in many design publications including Architect, Metropolis, and Hospitality Design, and she served as the managing and product editor of Contract magazine. Murrye spent most of her adult life in New York before making the move to rural Texas a few years ago and is still reeling from the culture shock. When she's not writing, she's hanging out with her audio engineer husband, toddler, two stepsons, and three dogs. One day, maybe she'll even take up gardening or get some chickens.
Diana Mosher, Writer
Diana discovered her love for commercial interior design 25 years ago while working at Facilities Design & Management and then Contract. When an editor-in-chief opportunity opened up down the hall, she took the leap to Multi-Housing News, where she expanded that brand’s A&D coverage and launched a still-thriving awards program. Also during that time, she graduated from the New York School of Interior Design. Today, when not writing , Diana is working on a workplace or residential design project at Diana Mosher Associates. She’s also an active member of ASID, NKBA, and CREW. Diana lives with her family in Queens in the Jackson Heights Historic District.
AnnMarie Martin, Writer
AnnMarie didn’t even have a chance to take off her cap and gown before she fell down the design magazine rabbit hole 20 years ago. Since then, she’s helped titles you know and love—like i+s and Boutique Design—to give readers not just enthralling content, but also to build programs that strengthen our community, spark discussion, and foster the next generation of commercial design superstars. With one of her children on the spectrum, it’s become her passion to spread the word about those establishing more inclusive environments for the neurodiverse as they enter the workforce. Her favorite hobby is timing the seconds between her kids’ incessant snack requests. The record?: 1.75s.#IYKYK

Rita Catinella Orrell, Writer
Rita fell in love with the world of interiors, architecture, and product design three decades ago. She served as Architectural Record’s products editor for 14 years and is contributing products editor for Texas Architect. Rita has written for The Architect’s Newspaper, Oculus, Metropolis, and Forbes.com, and is author of Objects of Desire: A Showcase of Modern Erotic Products and the Creative Minds Behind Them.

Catherine DiPersico, Writer
This New York–based design writer, editor, and market expert covers the people, products, and trends shaping the interiors industry. Her work has appeared in House Beautiful, Architectural Digest, Apartment Therapy, and more. With a background in both editorial and interior design, Catherine loves translating industry conversations into stories that are insightful, approachable, and genuinely fun to read. When she’s not writing, she’s usually traveling (preferably to Paris), exploring New York’s ever-growing restaurant and bar scene, catching up with friends over a glass of wine, reading romantasy, or shopping for her next fashion or home find.
Louis Noha, Writer
With 18 years working in education, Louis has a passion for writing, teaching, and learning, which has shaped his career. He’s passionate about the power of a good story—whether it’s a spooky thriller or the best meet-cute. He's particularly interested in finding ways to make the world more inclusive through education and thoughtful design. When he's not at school, he's likely curled up with a good book, tending to his garden, or spoiling his three dogs. Louis and his wife are in a love-hate relationship with their charming 1890s home, dreaming of design updates somewhere in between restoring and modernizing or maybe burning it to the ground and starting over.
