Charis Torrance has spent over a decade and a half in the magazine world, with bylines at House & Leisure, Marie Claire, Sunday Times Neighbourhood, and FAIRLADY.

Between chasing deadlines, wrangling a chaos gremlin (read: toddler), being a saintly partner, and carving out a sliver of ‘me time’, Charis is living proof that multitasking is a sport, which she may or may not be winning.
