Amanda Dameron Promoted to 'Dwell' Editor-in-Chief

Steve Cohn

Thursday, December 22, 2011 Amanda Dameron (pictured), who as Dwell executive editor (since Feb. 2011) had unofficially been in charge since the summer when editor-in-chief Sam Grawe ended a six-year stint, was formally named editor-in-chief on Dec. 22 by San

Francisco-based Dwell Media president (since 2001) Michela O'Connor Abrams.

Concurrently, Abrams promoted art director (since June 2011) Alejandro Chavetta to creative director, where he had been serving in an acting capacity since the resignation of Kyle Blue.

Said Abrams in a statement: "As Dwell Media continues to grow and expand its platforms, there is no team better suited that Amanda and Alejandro to expand the Dwell voice, aesthetic and sharp curatorial eye across print, digital, events and commerce....Amanda and Alejandro have emerved as the creative team with the visiojn and skills required to lead Dwell Media into the future."

The promotions complete an active 2011 for Dwell. In August, Abrams hired Brenda Saget Darling as the 11-year-old magazine's first New York-based publisher. Dameron also relocated from San Francisco to New York, and she is staying there. Chavetta and most of the remaining staff are in San Francisco.

Additionally, Abrams launched the Singapore-based Dwell Asia (its first international edition) with partner MPG-APAC.

The 333,094 circulation U.S. Dwell publishes 10 times yearly. Since its Oct. 2000 launch, Dwell has stood out among shelter magazines by showcasing homes in such unlikely places as inner cities. It won a 2005 National Magazine Award for general excellence.
