Lifestyling.co.za

Started in 2020 as a result of lockdown during the Coronavirus pandemic with a team of colleagues working in publishing and communications, Lifestyling is the brainchild of PR guru Jean-Pierre de la Chaumette. JP brought together a stellar team comprising design writer Mila Crewe-Brown as editor, art director Martin Jacobs as deputy editor and myself, Sarah Jayne Fell as head of digital. I built the website and I’m responsible for the day-to-day content management, web design and social media. I also get involved in feature writing and interviews with a focus on art, design and wine.
