In Bryanna's words

I’m a Brooklyn-based Brazilian-American fueled by books, fun TV shows, and a silly obsession with fictional characters. I’m always happiest with a good story and love talking about it with anyone who will listen. I’ll always say yes to a sweet treat (especially ice cream, any time of the year) and can never resist a good picnic in the park!

About me

I’m a professional book hoarder (including multiple copies of the same book!) and a chronic sitcom rewatcher.
I previously led biannual magazine issues at REFINE Magazine while studying full-time at Temple University.
I have also worked in public relations and communications, supporting media outreach, press releases, and brand visibility initiatives at Jane Owen PR.

Top weekend activity

I’ll happily spend hours reading or talking about everything and nothing with loved ones.

Favorite craft

My favorite craft is wheel-throwing pottery! I’m still an amateur, but it’s a hands-on, exciting activity. I would love to try bookbinding next.

3 top tips to recharge and unwind

Do something you loved as a kid. Color, doodle, build a puzzle, make friendship bracelets, or pick up an old hobby just because it’s fun.
Get lost in a good story! Put your phone away and curl up with a book, comfort show, or movie you genuinely love. Sometimes the best way to reset is to let yourself escape for a little while.
Get out of your head and into your body. Take a scenic walk or dance around your room. You don’t need to break a sweat: just do something that helps you reset!

3 top tips for embracing creativity

Find the whimsy in everyday life! Let yourself notice the small things that add a little magic to the mundane (people watching, admiring nature, etc.).
Make something with no purpose by creating just for fun! Doodle, collage, write a silly story, or experiment with something new. Not everything needs to become a masterpiece made for other eyes.
Feed your brain with new media. Read outside your usual genre, listen to new music, or learn about something completely unrelated to your work. The more new ideas you collect, the more the brain gears start turning!
