ABOUT

we can always

INCLUDE. INSPIRE. INFORM.

i'm brianna, but you can call me bri!

I’ve loved writing since I could remember. And, for some of my hardest times in life, writing healed me.

My passion grew throughout my struggles, and I was motivated to share my experiences with others. Open Book flourished and soon became my readers’ healing space.

Now, Open Book is not only a blog, but a platform for readers to take home my words and use them in their daily lives, whichever way that may be.

Over time, I realized that healing doesn’t just live in words — sometimes it lives in the smallest of keepsakes. A charm that reminds you of someone you love. A pin that carries a story. A trinket that holds a memory.

What began as healing through words has grown into healing through creation — meaningful keepsakes designed to stay with you long after the moments have passed.

HOW'D YOU START?

THE BEGINNING

After losing my precious twin babies, I started Open Book to share my story with women who had been through similar experiences. Through writing, I was able to include, inspire, and inform my little community. And, with that, came the dreams of growing this newly found community!

WHAT IS OPEN BOOK TODAY?

THE NOW...

As Open Book grows, so do my dreams. Thank you allowing me to share my story & creativity. Each piece is inspired by love and memories. I am always here to help you honor and cherish the people and moments that mean the most.

A few things I love to create...

Built with Bri

Built with Bri was created to make website design feel simple, approachable, and manageable for small-business owners.

With more than five years of experience in web design, I focus on creating thoughtful, functional websites that help businesses look professional, reach more customers, and confidently manage their online presence after handoff.

As someone who both works with small businesses and owns one myself, I understand how much business owners already handle. Your website should support your business—not become another complicated responsibility.

My goal is to give you an organized online home that reflects your brand, is easy for customers to navigate, and is simple for you to maintain moving forward.

Simple, thoughtful design solutions for small businesses—online and beyond.
