Amy Frearson

Amy Frearson is a London-based journalist and editor who has been writing about architecture and design for over a decade. She is editor-at-large for Dezeen, the world's biggest and most influential design website, a regular contributor to magazines including Elle Decoration, Grand Designs and Icon, and co-author of All Together Now: the co-living and co-working revolution.

Amy holds a masters in architectural history from The Bartlett and a degree in architecture from Kingston University. She worked in architectural practice for five years before moving into journalism. After a stint at the Architects’ Journal, she joined Dezeen in 2011 as architecture reporter and worked her way up to become editor, a role she held from 2016 to 2019, before stepping down to pursue other projects.

In 2017, Amy was highly commended in the specialist editor category at the British Society of Magazine Editors (BSME) Awards, which described Dezeen as ‘unstoppable’ under her editorship. Dezeen won digital editorial team of the year at the AOP Digital Publishing Awards the same year, while Amy was also shortlisted for multimedia journalist of the year at the International Building Press Awards in 2018.

Amy has collaborated on various editorial projects – from a series of films for Business of Design Week 2020 to the British Pavilion catalogue for the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2021 – and has worked as an editorial consultant for companies including Space10 and Dutch Design Week. She partnered with interior designer Naomi Cleaver to author All Together Now: the co-living and co-working revolution, which is published by RIBA Books. Her writing is also featured in the books 21 Things You Won’t Learn in Architecture School and CEBRA Files 03.

Amy lives and works in London, where she is a member of Beulah Road Studios, a creative collective based in an RIBA Award-nominated building.
