We’re excited to announce the addition of Brittany Kleinman to the wejetset editorial team. Brittany is a practicing designer and avid traveler whose passion lies in responding to the world around her by creating innovative solutions that find a balance between object and experience. Brit’s past experiences included cultural sustainability work with Aid to Artisans, product design for Samsonite, founder of AVO:MARKET and resident designer at Grain Design. Brit is always looking for fresh adventures and a new place to explore.

Brit founded AVO:MARKET in 2007, with the belief that a market is more than what gets bought and sold, but a community based upon human relationships and interactions. The world is a big place full of many kinds of people, but the market is a common ground in which you can start to see the similarities and differences between our daily ways of life. AVO:MARKET is about connecting people and bridging the gap between cultures while still continuing to cherish and learn from our differences. Brit will be reporting on market cultures from all over the world for wejetset. Be sure to stay tuned.

Writer and photographer Diana McClure took her first trip when she was 2, to Haiti. Since then she has touched down in multiple countries in North America, Central America, the Caribbean and Europe. Some of these trips were taken too far back to remember. Nevertheless, she’s traveled by foot, car, bus, train, courier flight, first class, on frequent flier miles, cash, credit, or whatever, in order to satisfy her wanderlust. When she’s not on the road you’ll find her on travel excursions in her home city.

Currently, Ms. McClure is Founder and Creative Director of Cultureserve, a global art & culture news website. She holds a BA from Columbia University, an MA from The New School for Social Research and is based in Brooklyn, New York. We’re excited to have Diana on the team.
