Amrita Thakkar
I won a creative writing competition in third grade and never put my pen down again – well, technically I traded it for a keyboard. I worked in social media and copywriting before entering the home and garden industry as a journalist, and now I’m deeply immersed in style and design at Apartment Therapy. My favorite thing to do so far has been working on Design Changemakers and getting the chance to meet people who are making a real difference in the industry. As a lifelong renter, I’m always on the lookout for affordable, rental-friendly projects – you have to love where you live even if you can’t make big changes. I’m also interested in learning and sharing how immigrants incorporate their culture into their homes.
