Heidi Lender once reported on the fashion universe for national magazines, styling photo shoots and writing features. Armed with a BA in apparel and textiles from Cornell University, she covered interior design, food, travel and style from New York to LA, London to Paris. A long break took her to India, where she lived part-time for six years studying yoga. In 2008, she picked up her first digital SLR and retired her pen forever. She currently splits her time between Northern California and Garzon, Uruguay.
