Amy Astley is the editor-in-chief of AD, joining the brand in May 2016.

In addition to overseeing all editorial content, Astley is committed to reimagining and expanding the brand’s digital presence across every platform and format, and furthering the reach of AD’s design authority.

Since Astley was named, AD has experienced unprecedented growth across all platforms and where the brand’s digital presence previously functioned solely as an extension of the print edition, AD now boasts a rapidly expanding social footprint, a hit video series on YouTube and multiple digital-only verticals: AD PRO, a business-to-buisness membership service featuring authoritative coverage and breaking news for the design industry, and Clever, which takes on the unique challenges of designing a smaller space; offering design advice for real life.

Prior to AD, Astley was the founding editor of Teen Vogue, launched in 2003, where she helped build a dynamic lifestyle brand that has thrived in the new media environment over the last decade. During Astley’s tenure, Teen Vogue was nominated twice for a National Magazine Award for General Excellence; she oversaw a series of successful licensing deals including bedding and back-to-school products; and Astley’s 2009 New York Times best-seller, “The Teen
Vogue Handbook: An Insider’s Guide to Careers in Fashion” was updated and reissued by Penguin in 2014.

Astley has spent a great deal of her career immersed in art, design and fashion, including five years at House & Garden and nearly a decade at Vogue.

Astley graduated from the Honors College at Michigan State University. She lives in New York City with her husband and two daughters.

In February 2015, Gillin relaunched the Epicurious brand and website; less than a year later, Epicurious traffic had more than doubled, driven by a thousand-fold increase in video and a three-fold increase in social media traffic. Under his leadership, revenue also reached an all-time high, with video revenue quintupling from 2015 to 2016. Gillin also helped establish the new Healthyish vertical in January 2017.
