Twelve interior designers and bloggers from the United States, Canada and Dubai are headed to London for the London Design Festival this month. As part of the third edition of BlogTour presented by Modenus, the bloggers will be making stops at 100% Design, Design Junction, Tent London and Decorex, as well as a number of smaller events and showrooms.

“We first launched BlogTour during London Design Festival in 2011 and are thrilled to be welcomed back by our many trade show and agency partners for a third time,” said Veronika Miller, CEO of Modenus.com. “Our tours have grown leaps and bounds since then, and so has the impact on the interior design and lifestyle community.”

The writers will report live from the shows on the latest trends and the newest products.

The participating bloggers are as follows:

Corey Klassen, Colour Outside the Lines (Vancouver, British Columbia)

For the last seven years, Klassen has built a boutique interior design practice that  focuses directly on his clients' needs.

Jessica Gordon Ryan, The Entertaining House (Southern Connecticut)

A writer, a blogger, a photographer and a memoirist, Ryan has dabbled in public relations and marketing as a copywriter before taking time off to raise her family—but writing was never put on the back burner.

Ryan also owns a boutique social media and creative services company, Effervescence, where she combines her creative services, promotional writing, photography, social media, and blog design.

Marilyn Russell, Design Magnifique, Inc. (Orlando, Florida)

Design Magnigique epitomizes the style and the substance of today’s internationally focused and modernist approach to interior design. Born in Jamaica, Russell grew up in Boston and studied historical interior design in London. Her own work is contemporary and trendsetting with a masculine, edgy feel to it.

Lisa Kahn, Lisa Writes (Naples, Florida)

Growing up in a small-town in Ohio couldn’t have prepared Kahn for a fast-paced career in the interior design field. However, the values she grew up with are the foundation for her success. Not one to impose her own style on the projects she takes, her commissioned spaces reflect her clients needs, passions, desires and lifestyles.

Rita Catinella Orrell, Designythings and Architects-Toybox (New Jersey)

A design writer living in New Jersey, Catinella Orrell has been a member of the design press for over 17 years, covering interior design, home furnishings, kitchen and bath design, and architectural building products.

She is also a published poet and her chapbook Stuck in the Dream Wheel was published by Finishing Line Press in 2005. She earned her LEED Green Associate certification in 2012, indicating she knows just enough about sustainable design to be dangerous.

Ann Porter, Kitchen Studio of Naples (Naples, Florida)

Porter’s goal as a ‘lifestyle designer’ is to make a positive difference in a person’s life through design projects. She likes to put a lot of passion, creative thinking and research into her projects and gets emotionally attached to them and the people she gets to work with. She prides herself in taking the time to listen and get to know her clients’ needs, goals, and dreams—big ideas are what motivate and inspire her.
