Meet our website team
Our editorial team has decades of extensive experience in the women’s lifestyle media sector. They have worked at some of the leading publications in their field.
Kerrie is the Editor of woman&home.com. For seven years previously she was editor of Future’s world-leading design title Creative Bloq, and has written for titles including T3, Coach and Fit&Well on a wide range of lifestyle topics.
After a decade of working in retail, Kerrie went back to education at the age of 27, graduating with a first-class honours degree in creative writing three years later. Her career in journalism began soon after, when she secured a job as a staff writer at Future Plc. In the 14 years since, she has worked her way up the ranks, gaining a wealth of digital experience along the way.
As a woman&home reader and the website's editor, Kerrie’s main purpose is to ensure the brand delivers high-quality, relevant content to help enrich and improve women’s lives – a responsibility she feels hugely passionate about.
Outside of work, if she manages to find a spare minute around her three young children, geriatric dog and activity-obsessed fiance, you’ll find her either throwing a barbell about at Crossfit, with her head in a good thriller novel or building one of the latest Lego ideas sets.
As woman&home.com's Beauty Editor, Fiona has tried more products than she’s had hot dinners and nothing makes her happier than raving about brilliant finds on womanandhome.com or her instagram grid (@fionamckim if you like hair experiments and cute shih-tzus). Fiona joined woman&home as Assistant Beauty Editor in 2013 under industry legend Jo GB, who taught her everything she needed to know (learn about ingredients and employ extreme cynicism). She has since covered every corner of the industry, from interviewing dermatologists and celebrities to reporting backstage at Fashion Week and judging the w&h Beauty Awards.

How we test and review
We are impartial, thorough and accurate in how we test products for our reviews and buying guides, putting in hours of testing so that you don't have to worry about how something might – or might not – work for you. Our ethos is simple: we would never recommend a product to our audience that we wouldn't personally buy, use, or give as a gift to a loved one ourselves.
Our testers are experts in their field – whether it's a beauty expert who's used hundreds of hair dryers over the years, or a homes editor who knows the best recipes to put a new pan through its paces. You'll see photos of the products in action in our articles, to show you how we tested them.
