Hadley Keller // The Evolution of Design Editorial, the Joys of Collecting, and Advice for Breaking in as a Writer

On this week’s episode Ariel welcomes her friend, the talented interiors editor and writer Hadley Keller, to the podcast. Hadley currently serves as Director of Editorial and Community Engagement at the Design Leadership Network, a community of top interior designers across the country. Previously, Hadley was Digital Director at House Beautiful, the nation’s oldest continuously-published shelter magazine, where she oversaw all digital content as well as brand franchises, including the Next Wave list of on-the-rise designers, which Ariel is so grateful to be on. 

Splitting her time between New York and Washington, Hadley sits on the board of the Oasis Alliance, a nonprofit providing pro-bono design service to trauma survivors, and is a member of the White House Historic Association’s Next Gen Leaders cohort. She is a frequent speaker at design industry events and published her first book, about the architecture at Windsor in Florida, with Vendome in 2021.

Tune in for a friendly and thoughtful conversation about the evolution of design editorial, advice for how to pitch to an editor, and where Hadley finds inspiration!
