Ontario interior designers honour magazine editor Sheri Craig

The Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario (ARIDO) recently announced the appointment  of Sheri Craig, the former publisher of Canadian Interiors and Building magazines, as an honourary member. 

Craig was  a strong supporter of the interior design industry when she took over both magazines in 1993, during a recession in the interior design and architecture industries. 

During her tenure at the helm, these magazines flourished [says an article in Canadian Interiors]. In 1997, she introduced the Best of Canada Design competition for Canadian Interiors and in 2001 the Outside the Box competition for Building. Craig sold both magazines to Business Information Group in 2007.

Early in her career, Craig worked as a reporter for the Toronto Telegram before moving with her husband and daughter to Ghana with the UN. Upon her return to Canada, she worked for Marketing Magazine at Maclean Hunter as a broadcast columnist. She later worked in communications and public relations for Maclean Hunter Cable, the Ontario government and Ontario Hydro. She then returned to Maclean Hunter as editor of Canadian Jeweller until 1993.
