Francesca Connolly is an editor of Remodelista, a one-stop sourcebook for the considered home. Francesca lives in Brooklyn Heights, NY, and has a background in textile design. She worked for more than a decade in New York, designing textiles and home furnishings for a number of companies, including Adrienne Vittadini, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, and Fieldcrest Cannon. She studied photography at the School of Visual Arts in New York and has lived in Italy, where she attended the American School of Florence.

Guiding readers through the design and renovation process with features such as Steal This Look, 10 Easy Pieces, and Architect Visits, Remodelista was founded by four friends with a shared design DNA and appreciation for intelligent design. It counts architects, design professionals, and style-conscious consumers among its daily audience. The Remodelista aesthetic favors classic and livable over trendy and transient, well-edited interiors over cluttered environments, and thoughtfully designed products over mass-market, disposable goods.
