Joanne Furio

Based in the San Francsico Bay Area, Joanne’s a veteran print journalist who writes about style, culture, travel and design. Profiles are a specialty and have recently included New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast for The Believer and vertical gardening guru Patrick Blanc and Restoration Hardware’s Gary Friedman, both for San Francisco, where she is a contributing writer. Over the years she’s also sat down with the pioneering Buddhist teacher Ruth Denison, New York art collector and philanthropist Ronald Lauder, arts educator Susan Weber Soros, industrial designer Scott Henderson and followed a bucket-drumming street performer into the streets of New York for Spin.
