Christine DeOrio is 5280 Home’s senior editor, a role that encompasses planning and editing content and writing for all sections of the magazine. A Cleveland native, DeOrio moved to Colorado in 1999 to enjoy less frizzy hair and to earn a degree in journalism at the University of Colorado Boulder. After working for a variety of lifestyle and financial-industry magazines, she settled at Mountain Living, where she served as editor-in-chief for eight years. Now, she balances work—including freelance writing, editing, and copyediting—with motherhood and near-daily adventures in baking.
