Burdetta, B: Serene Interiors

Brenda Burdette is a former television news anchor/reporter/writer and producer who spent nearly 17 years chasing hard news stories in cities across the country (her favorite was San Francisco where she worked at the NBC and ABC stations). When she left the news world, Brenda immersed herself in Interior Architecture & Design courses, yoga, healing, art, and raising her two children as a way to erase the harshness of what she had seen in her career and create a more peaceful life. Brenda has combined her love of research/writing with her never-ending quest for discovering inspiring design, art, & architecture. She travels the world looking for the most beautiful design-related travel spots – all the while connecting with healers, poets & artists along the way.
