What I believe

Don't blend in.

The things that make you different are often the things that make you valuable.

Build the world you want to live in.

Don't wait for the perfect opportunity to appear. Create it.

Life is meant to be celebrated.

Bring more joy, meaning, beauty, personality and color into the life you're already living.

equal parts artist, entrepreneur & empath
Hi, I'm Amanda Perna!

Big ideas.
Real things.

Not just an ideas person. She builds them.

For more than two decades I've taken ideas from the first sketch all the way into the world: design, manufacturing, sourcing, retail, merchandising, storytelling, events, media, and the thousand tiny decisions between concept and launch.

Founder of The House of Perna, co-founder of A Little Wyld, two-time Project Runway designer, author, illustrator and host.
