CATHERINE CURRIN / W R I TE R Catherine Currin is a Raleigh native and loves telling the stories of her city. By day, she fundraises at local nonprofit The Green Chair Project, and has been moonlighting as a writer since leaving her post as WALTER’s Associate Editor. In her free time, she enjoys bingewatching television, eating her way through Raleigh, and getting involved with other nonprofits like CASA and the YMCA of the Triangle. This month, she interviewed the chefs behind Fine Folk. “Getting a look behind the curtain at Fine Folk made Chris and John’s food all the more fun. The creativity allows for a delicious menu that keeps you craving their popup week after week. I can’t wait to dine in the new space!”

After starting her career in branding and marketing in her hometown of New York City, Catherine decided to pursue photography at The Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Her work has been published in Flower, Home Design & Decor, and California Home and Design. “The Roux MacNeill team has such wonderful energy. They created a home that is lush, luxe, and livable. It was such a pleasure to collaborate with such talent.”
TREY THOMAS / P HOTO GR A PH ER A lifelong passion for architecture and design coupled with a serious love of photography led Trey Thomas to switch careers in 2012 to focus exclusively on interiors and architectural photography. A longtime resident of downtown Raleigh, Thomas loves the excitement that comes from being a short walk from one of the fastest growing cities in the nation. “The Crowder home is, in itself, a work of art. That’s that only thing that could take one’s mind off the ‘actual’ works of art that Kay has curated. Simply incredible!”

JOSH KLAHRE / W R I TE R Josh Klahre is a freelance writer based in downtown Raleigh. He’s been published in Esquire, GQ, Interview, GIANT, and others. He moved here four years ago after 16 years of residency in New York City. He spends most of his free time exploring the area, discovering music, trying not to do irreparable damage through ‘home improvements’ on his historic home, and spending quality time with his family. “It was great to connect with Coach Rod Brind’Amour and have a talk about his experiences as a Raleighite. For an absolute hockey legend, he was so accommodating with his time and access. I think the Hurricanes’ Captain, Jordan Staal, summed up his character perfectly: honest and true.”
