About Briana

“I don’t know where to begin, but I am going to start somewhere.” - Briana Jarrett, Founder & CEO

In 2018, Made by Melanin was founded by Briana Jarrett with the mission of amplifying black and brown voices through video and photo. Within months of launching, Briana found herself behind the camera for “big brands” including: Amazon, Microsoft, and the Seattle Seahawks.

Throughout the years, Briana has been able to establish a diverse portfolio from editorial photography to sizzle reel videos. Her desire to create content that told unique stories helped shape her identity, which lead to rebranding Made by Melanin to Made by Briana.

“Yes, I am a proud strong black woman but that doesn’t make me who I am, it is a part of who I am.” - Briana Jarrett

Made by Briana was an intentional name to change to honor the identify of the work that was being completed. More importantly, the work that Briana was creating.

“When people see my work, I want them to know that Briana made it.” - Briana Jarrett

Briana has now published over 100 assets consisting of videos and photos for Fortune 500 companies and well-known pop culture artists. While the name has changed, the mission remains the same.
