Gracie Stewart

Singapore Editor | Urban List, Singapore

Gracie Stewart is a born and bred Kiwi whose heart belongs at the beach (preferably with an ice-cold beer in hand). She is mum to two lively kids and has an unmatched appreciation for the simple joy of slipping into freshly washed sheets.

Before she joined Urban List in 2023, Gracie was busy running the digital show at Harper’s Bazaar Singapore—steering the magazine’s website and social feeds like a total pro. With over a decade of copywriting and digital media wizardry under her belt, she’s teamed up with brands all over the globe, from Asia and Australasia to the Middle East, UK, and USA.

Now in Singapore, Gracie’s your go-to gal for all the city’s hottest happenings. Whether it’s the scoop on the newest restaurants, epic event guides, or those tucked-away local gems, she’s on it—sharing the very best of the Lion City with a sparkle in her eye.

When she’s not writing (or sampling Singapore’s coolest spots—someone’s gotta do it), you’ll probably find her daydreaming about her next sun-soaked escape.
