Creating Inspiring Interiors
The freelance writer typically covers scientific content for magazines like The Atlantic, National Geographic, and Scientific American. In this issue, she wrote about treehouses. “When trying to find subjects for the story, I recalled a small, wonderfully different treehouse I had seen while house hunting,” she says. “It was the McCalls’ boat-shaped treehouse (featured in the piece). I drove by their house day after day until I finally lucked out and found Roger McCall at home.” Guenard admits that boat might be her favorite of the bunch.
JULI LEONARD / P H O T O G R A P H E R Leonard has been a photojournalist for 17 years and has worked for The News & Observer for 13 of them. In this issue, she captured Raleighites’ treehouses for an Our Town Spotlight. “I’ve been an avid treehouse lover since I can remember so this assignment was the perfect combination of my love of treehouses and photography,” she says. She resides in Raleigh with her daughter, partner, and two naughty pups.

Washington is a writer and author of Coconut. Ginger. Shrimp. Rum: Carribean Flavors for Every Season. In this issue, she reflects on the sentiment behind recipes in At the Table. “For me, baking those galettes was a gateway to my former self.”
CATHERINE NGUYEN / PHOTOGRAPHER The editorial and commercial photographer specializes in interiors and architecture both in Raleigh and San Francisco. In this issue, she visited beautiful Raleigh homes and also covered WINnovation 2017. “What struck me about the homes I photographed is how full of life they are: full of objects and art that bring meaning to the owners’ lives. Our homes reflect our lives. Both Pam Clark and Charlotte Smith have homes that are bursting at the seams with the stories they have to tell. It’s wonderful.” Similarly, “At Winnovation, I was particularly impressed with the candor the speakers showed in sharing their journeys to success.”
