After graduating from NYU and interning at the now-shuttered HomeStyle magazine, Tori Mellott got her start in publishing as an assistant at House Beautiful under Marian McEvoy. She went on to Elle Décor and worked as the associate style editor under Margaret Russell. In 2004 she was tapped by Conde Nast to help launch Domino Magazine where she eventually became the decorating editor. After Domino folded Tori became the Creative Deputy for Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. After her experience at Martha, Tori Mellott explored yet another avenue in design and joined Nate Berkus for his first year of production of The Nate Show. Eager to return to publishing, Tori Mellott joined Traditional Home in 2011 and is the senior design and market editor.
