What is the funniest experience you’ve had on the job?

Interviewing Lenny Kravitz in his loft in Soho. His girlfriend was sleeping late so he got dressed in his closet and as he was pulling his leather fares on he fell backwards. We all got a lovely view of his heavily tattooed bottom. Then, while I was doing the interview, his enormous boa constrictor came steaming through the living room.

Anita Pallenburg and Kylie Minogue also showed up to say hello.

Do you have a piece of work that you are proudest of?

‘I married a minimalist’ for The New York Times. Minimalism has a serenity at its surface but instead of showing the architects’ perspective I talked to their partners and found it can be limiting and quite tyrannical. One man didn’t let his wife order any furniture when she was pregnant. He ordered a toilet from a penitentiary but it didn’t arrive, so she had to use a bucket the entire time she was pregnant.

If you could sum up your experience at City in three words what would they be?

Empowering, connecting (to people in the industry) and frustrating.
