ANDREA METZLER
Andrea is a writer, designer, and lifelong storyteller who believes in the power of big feelings, brave kids, and stories that help us feel seen. As the founder of Open Road Design, LLC, she’s spent years helping others find their voice, and now she’s sharing her own through poetry-style stories for children.
She’s known for telling long stories when she talks (just ask her family), but writing gives her space to shape her words just right. Andrea lives in Ohio and is a passionate advocate for mental health, open communication, and books that create connection.
Her debut picture book, Sebastian’s Big Brave Ride, is based on real memories.
