  • Lucy has been a writer for almost 11 years now and received one of the top journalism awards in her country.
  • She grew up making furniture and renovating rooms in her childhood home as her father — a self-proclaimed handyman — refuses to hire people to do it. Her favorite thing in her house now is a study table they made when she was 12 years old.
  • She has a habit of researching intensely and extensively prior to starting a home renovation process, often coming up with pages of documentation that she shares with her friends.

Experience

Lucy Hankins has spent over a decade writing for top news outlets across Asia and beyond. She specializes both in long-form and explainer articles on a wide range of topics, including house design, real estate, and sustainability. Her inspiration mostly comes from walking through neighborhoods and parks not only in her home country, the Philippines but also the many cities she has visited over the years. As a millennial homeowner, Lucy is driven by the desire to improve her own space and is inspired by others in her generation doing the same. She believes that anyone can improve their home with the right guidance. At House Digest, her goal is to provide readers with the knowledge they need to make impactful changes in their homes.
