Virginia Clark
Digital Director
Virginia joined House & Garden in 2018 as an intern on the digital team, and rose through the ranks to become Digital Director in 2023. Having been a faithful reader for years before she joined, she still can't quite believe that she gets to spend her time shooting the houses she used to peruse each month when the magazine came out.
Virginia studied Classics at Oxford University and went on to do a PhD at Princeton University. In her professional life she spends most of her time planning, commissioning and editing features for the website, organising new video series for YouTube and social media, and travelling around the country for shoots. She is based in south-east London where she has been slowly renovating a small flat.
