I’m Bryan (a Hufflepuff
from Cherokee Nation
currently roaming Des Moines) who edits, designs and writes.
I love NPR, The Golden Girls,
The Great British Bake Off
and adopting new plants.
Hi,

About Me
I grew up in Sallisaw, Oklahoma, on the Cherokee Nation Reservation making quilts with my mom and picking blackberries with my grandma.
Now I live in Des Moines, shivering
six months of the year and soaking up
the sun on bike trails the other six.
I read a print newspaper every morning (a habit from my dad), frequently reference plotlines from The Golden Girls and spend way too much time at Starbucks.
