With her ever-changing style and desire to stay on trend, Aliyah understands the importance of making your home a place that you can fall in love with every day and actually want to spend time in.

As an associate editor, Aliyah writes, edits, and curates home and lifestyle content through The Spruce sites like Spruce Home and Spruce Crafts. An apartment dweller for her entire life, Aliyah is the creator and manager of The Spruce's rental tour franchise Renting Outside the Lines where she interviews influencers on how they make their temporary spaces a home.

When she is not editing, Aliyah can be found endlessly scrolling through TikTok for the latest trends, product testing, or tending to her growing houseplant collection.
