More Than Fashion: Amanda Perna on Creativity, Connection, and Resilience


Listen Later

This week on the ArtiGras Podcast, we sit down with Amanda Perna: fashion designer, entrepreneur, author, speaker, community leader, and creative force behind House of Perna, Camp Perna, and A Little Wyld. Amanda opens up about her journey from Broadway dreams to building a bold, joy-filled fashion brand, and the highs and lows of life as a creative entrepreneur.

We explore how her love of color, people, and purpose fuels everything from design to community service. Amanda shares how she’s redefining success on her own terms: making space for play, embracing sustainability, and championing local creatives through projects like Amanda’s Corner at Habitat for Humanity Restore and her Camp Perna workshops.

Join us as we discuss:

- Why she left New York fashion to build a bold brand in Delray Beach

- How her community helped save her business during a major setback

- The story behind Amanda’s Corner at Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore

- How Camp Perna gives women space to create, connect, and play

- Her advice for creatives on staying true to your vision, even when it’s hard

- Tips for adding color and confidence to your personal style
