Co-Founder, Publisher & Creative Director

Tiffany Bird makes a life out of small astonishments—onstage, on paper, and in the in-between where real magic likes to linger. Classically trained and California-raised, she writes and illustrates with a steady hand and a curious heart. She’s also spent decades married to magician Jason Bird, whose genius mind lights up rooms—and occasionally the living room floor with a confetti of playing cards. Together they are a long-running love story and a traveling conversation, the kind that feels like a lighthouse on foggy nights: bright, steady, and always pointing home. They adore talking, wandering, and being together more than almost anything else on earth.

Tiffany learned the durable arts of breath, presence, and story the way one learns to tune an instrument: slowly, precisely, and with great respect for silence. She spent a formative spell in London, collecting rehearsal rooms, rain, and the particular sizzle of a good line spoken well. Born in California on the summer solstice (of course), she later founded Belladonna Repertory in Atlanta—a scrappy, luminous theater company built to make beautiful work with brave people. Somewhere between opening nights and last calls, she published Burning Twilight, a lantern of a poetry collection that holds tenderness and grit in the same palm.

An illustrator and writer, Tiffany draws what most of us rush past: a hand on a teacup, a sentence that lands softly, a leaf deciding to fall. Her work is thoughtful, whimsical, and curiously specific. She’s a self-professed puddle-jumper, eater of pie, lover of summer (though every season has her heart), Earth enthusiast, and heart healer who believes stories can be both a mirror and a warm coat. Professionally, she braids stagecraft, editorial care, and visual design—coaxing a sentence into its best self, sketching motifs that carry a chapter, and stewarding a book from early murmur to the moment it meets a reader’s hands. She’s coached performers, shaped voice and structure for authors, and built small brands with disproportionate heart. The through-line is hospitality: make the experience generous and clear; let the work breathe.

Her writing also lives beyond the covers—at countyourblissings.com and on Substack—where she uplifts, wayfinds, and discovers journeys in the smallest details of both the mundane and the grand. She has two forthcoming books: Happyful—A Book of Joy-Fueled Living, Loving, and Working—and Where the Inklings Grow, an illustrated volume of essays on the quiet art of living and noticing.

At home, there are three stupendous children full of heart and imagination, a collection of pencils that multiply at night, and (on most days) a neat stack of Jason’s wayward cards returned to their box with a smile and a shake of the head. Love, in their house, is part lighthouse, part library: guiding light, good pages.
