Tilly Wheeler
Commerce Writer
Tilly joined House & Garden in 2023 as Operations Coordinator, subsequently moving up to her current role of Commerce Writer. Her previous experience includes a role at the BFI London Film Festival; prior to that, she worked in visual research for commercial film production and assisted set designers. She has a first-class degree in Set Design from Wimbledon College of Arts, graduating in 2021.
Since starting at House & Garden, Tilly has enjoyed writing about design in film and television and conducting interviews with various creatives. In her role as Commerce Writer, she researches and writes edits of interesting and unusual products, bringing a keen curatorial eye to everything she does. Her taste in design is varied and eclectic, but she has a particular love for futuristic, somewhat kitsch design of the mid-20th century, citing Verner Panton and Ettore Sottsass among her favourite designers. When not working, you can usually find her in the cinema, or at an exhibition.
