Since she was young, Linden has been fascinated by the written word — often choosing to curl up with a Judy Blume novel or a new issue of Marie Claire before glancing at homework. She lost herself in the captivating worlds created by Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott. She studied Diana Vreeland’s storied career, and she dreamed about having a library like Belle’s in “Beauty and the Beast.”

Linden received her degree in magazine journalism from the University of Missouri in 2010. Her career has taken her from internships at Steamboat Magazine and Mpls.St.Paul Magazine to editor positions at Southlake Style and PaperCity. Linden has interviewed Martha Stewart, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and designer Jenny Packham, among many others. In addition to magazines, she has written brand copy for international design-led companies including Hunter Douglas Window Fashions and Page architecture firm.

Linden currently lives in Colorado with her husband and young son.
