Jenna Briand
Jenna Briand is a writer, editor and digital media consultant based in Los Angeles. Her professional career has most often found her covering lifestyle content and local entertainment for media companies such as Time Warner and NBC. But the real intersection of local and lifestyle, she believes, is one's very own home. Thus, she spends a good deal of her "free" time writing about home design, architecture, and adventures in parenting her three-year-old daughter. She has had at least one room in her home under construction for each the last five years.
