Girl Dad

With more than 20 years of experience in finance, Bryan Marscovetra is the Chief Executive Officer and co-owner of Studio Dwell, which he leads alongside his wife and sister.

With a passion for books and literature, Bryan brings a thoughtful, narrative-driven approach to leadership—blending strategy, communication, and vision to help guide the business forward. But creativity has always been a constant in his life. Bryan spent over 30 years playing music, including more than a decade performing in a band with his wife, Audra. That creative foundation continues to influence his leadership style today, shaping the way he builds culture, connects with people, and tells the story behind the brand. Bryan leads with intention, balancing business insight with a deep appreciation for creativity and collaboration. As a proud father of 2 daughters, he brings that same sense of purpose and perspective into both his work and personal life. When he’s not leading the business, Bryan can be found spending time with his family, perpetually listening to music, manning the grill, and hosting friends and family for dinner.
