The editorial team

Three editors.
One shared standard: look closer.

Coral Gayoso, Martina Stewart Usher and Noel Lenzi shape a Journal where research and visual judgment carry equal weight.

01Founder & Principal Editor

Coral Gayoso

Coral founded The Design Growth Journal to give distinctive creative work the context, language and permanence it deserves.

Her editorial direction connects interior design, architecture, art, landscape, real estate and independent creative practice. She leads the Journal’s point of view, long-form profiles and the relationship between editorial recognition, visibility and lasting authority.

02Editor

Martina Stewart Usher

Martina Stewart Usher contributes to the Journal’s editorial development and the careful presentation of the people and practices selected for coverage.

Her role supports the clarity, consistency and human perspective behind each story, helping ensure that creative work is introduced with intention and understood within a wider cultural and professional context.

03Editor

Noel Lenzi

Noel Lenzi contributes to the Journal’s editorial process, supporting the research, structure and refinement that give each feature its individual character.

Her editorial perspective helps preserve the specificity of every practice while maintaining the thoughtful, considered voice that connects the Journal as a whole.

Our editorial approach

01

Specific enough to remember.

We select work with a traceable idea, a visible hand and details that cannot be exchanged for somebody else’s.

02

The decisions belong in the story.

A project becomes legible when readers can follow its constraints, references, negotiations and lived effects.

03

The archive should outlive the scroll.

Each feature is built to remain useful after the announcement, opening or launch has passed.

How we work

Every story starts by asking what the image leaves out.

We study the brief, process, references, materials and turning points that make a practice recognisable.

Research, attribution and editorial judgment guide every feature. The goal is accessible writing that never removes the intelligence or individuality of the work.
