Hi there, I’m Brianna.

I’m a full-time Creative Director specializing in marketing and branding.

About Observant Nomad

Observant Nomad is a lifestyle blog that explores the daily adventures, inspirations, and observations of a restless nomad.

This online journal began over 10 years ago when I found myself grounded and unable to travel as much as I had before. It became my creative outlet to explore the ways I could recreate a sense of adventure in my daily life.

But over the years, as travel became a reality again, the Observant Nomad evolved into a place where I could reflect on my travels, as well as continue to capture the rich texture of a well-curated and intentional life, influenced by my worldly experiences.

What’s Can I Discover?

On Observant Nomad, I seek out learning and exploring what surrounds us, what we experience, and what we gather. And with that how we can all create purposeful beauty, enjoyment, and aspiration in our daily life.

 

I currently write about:

Travel
Creativity
Food & Drink
Wellness
Style

 
 
“I bring a worldly experience home with me, and from there, everywhere I go.”

About Brianna

Raised in Denver, CO, I spent my Colorado youth camping, hiking, and exploring the great outdoors. I was instilled with a sense of curiosity and pioneering.

My love for adventure intensified early on when I was lucky enough to spend my summers as a student ambassador for the US, traveling to countries around the world. 

And again when I moved to Spain in 2008 for half a year, and through that experience, a worldly outlook solidified within me.

Besides travel, creativity has been my greatest passion. I grew up obsessed with drawing, and painting, lost in any creative distraction I could find. In the end, I decided to make creativity my life’s pursuit and today I’m a Creative Director specializing in advertising and branding working in Denver, CO.

These days you’ll most likely find me working hard on my next creative project, finding a new workout I can obsess over, sampling exotic foods, or planning my next far-away adventure.

Welp it happened, I caught a cold while traveling. 🤧 It’s been a little quiet here on socials because I’ve slowed down a bit and stayed in bed for the last couple of days. Getting sick abroad is no fun. Especially when you don’t
I’m curious? Do you prefer exploring off-the-beaten-path gems or iconic tourist spots? 🤔 As an extensive traveler I usually like a mix of both. If I only visit tourist destinations and stick to a strict itinerary I leave end up feeling lik
