Charlotte McCaughan-Hawes
Deputy Digital Editor
Charlotte joined the digital team at House & Garden in 2019, following time working at Vogue and Vanity Fair. She joined with a rookie knowledge of interior design but huge love of perusing all the houses, hotels and recipes in the magazine and on the website and quickly became au fait with the Top 100, soaking up every bit of information along the way.
Charlotte studied French and Russian at Edinburgh University and also holds a WSET Level 2 degree in wines – with level 3 in the works. In her role at House & Garden, she spends time writing, commissioning and editing features across all verticals, searching for new stories, overseeing aspects of social media and travelling around the country (and sometimes further afield) for photo and video shoots. She is based in south-west London, where she lives with her husband and toddler in a midcentury flat.
