Haniya Rae

Haniya Rae has over a decade of experience writing in the home space. One of Haniya Rae’s favorite pieces she’s written concerns a topic that few think about often but is ubiquitous: drywall. She has extensive experience interviewing architects, engineers, product designers, and doctors about a myriad of experiences related to everyday home health and repair.

As a dedicated plant grower, Haniya Rae has also transformed her garage into a greenhouse and grows the majority of her plants from seed. She grows everything from yet undescribed species from Indonesia to native staples, like Paw Paw trees.
