hi i’m brenna

let me tell you a story.

but first...

Introductions are in order.

I’m a writer and creative with a background in film production. In 2017, I founded the blog, DIY Darling, and shortly after appeared as the featured host of the show Weekend Refresh by Tastemade, Inc. After writing for publications like Business Insider and Forbes, I landed my first book deal writing a DIY-focused book, published by Clarkson Potter in Spring 2023. Currently, I’m working on my second book, this time with National Geographic, to be released by Disney Publishing in Spring 2026.

 

let’s explore the world and write about it.

making life beautiful

DIY Darling

Beginning as a passion project in my twenties, I began DIY Darling out of a desire to create a beautiful home on a budget. Featuring high-end do-it-yourself projects, interior styling tips, home decor crafts, and more, DIY Darling has transformed into a community for people passionate about living a life they love.

There’s almost no time I’m happier than when using a power tool. Visit the blog.

On-Camera

Since graduating cum laude with a BFA in Screen Acting from Chapman University, I’ve had the privilege of appearing in national commercials, music videos and films. This has also translated to incredible collaborations opportunities on social media with brands like Amazon, The Home Depot, Behr and Chasing Paper.

You could say that acting and film were my first loves. Find out more.
