Laura James
Laura is a commerce editor for HGTV. With more than nine years of experience in digital lifestyle publishing, five of those focused on covering commerce content like product reviews, sales and deals stories and gift guides, she's become an expert on home and lifestyle products that stand the test of time. She's personally spent hundreds of hours testing products, from sheets to garden hoses. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from the University of Georgia. When she's not product testing, writing or editing, she enjoys thrifting, gardening, reading, practicing yoga and traveling.
