Evelyn Battaglia

Freelance journalist and editor Evelyn Battaglia has been immersed in all things home—decorating, organizing, gardening, and cooking—for over two decades, notably as an executive editor at Martha Stewart Omnimedia, where she helped produce many best-selling books. As a contributing writer at Brick Underground, Evelyn specializes in deeply reported only-in-New-York renovation topics brimming with real-life examples and practical advice. A renovation survivor and resident of the Upper West Side since 1994 (starting with a tiny studio with "Central Park views" when standing tiptoe in a pink-tiled bathroom), Evelyn can often be found running with her dog in Riverside Park.
