I'm a writer and editor with over a decade of experience, mostly covering the business side of the interior design industry. As executive editor of Business of Home, I’ve covered everything from millennial antiques dealers to silverware whisperers to the dramatic collapse of a much-hyped interior design startup. I've also profiled some of the biggest names in the industry (Jamie Drake, Charlotte Moss and Thomas O'Brien among others) and my work has appeared in Elle Decor and House Beautiful.

In a past life, I was a musician and songwriter. My songs have been featured in the films Blue Valentine and Whip It, the TV shows Gossip Girl and Man Seeking Woman, and a Japanese cellphone commercial starring Brad Pitt and a sumo wrestler. 

In my other other life, I created a pop culture podcast with over a million downloads, but it's too nerdy to write about here. 

Here's my LinkedIn, and here's my email: fred.nicolaus@gmail.com. Let's talk!
