Hello, we’re BriaNova

Dolls for girls who wonder how things work.

Our dolls are modeled after real women in STEM. Each one comes with stories and hands-on activities that turn everyday curiosity into science, technology, engineering, and math, so every girl can see herself in it.

Pre-sale opens March 2027 · Only 25 of each doll in our first run

Meet the dolls

Two curious friends are almost here.

Every BriaNova doll is modeled after real women in STEM, and each one comes with a card introducing the real women who inspired her. Their full reveal happens at our pre-sale launch. Until then, here’s a little hint about who they are.

Naomi Estelle

The astronaut

Naomi has been looking up at the stars for as long as she can remember. She’s training for her first mission, and she’s looking for a co-pilot.

Inspired by real women who explore space

Space science

Daphne Alchemy

The chemist

Daphne has never met an experiment she didn’t love. Fizzing, bubbling, color-changing: if it reacts, she wants to know why.

More friends on the way

New subjects, new adventures

Our next dolls are already in the works, each inspired by more real women in STEM. We’ll introduce them one at a time, and our email list always hears first.

Why BriaNova

Every girl deserves to see a scientist, an engineer, or an inventor when she looks in the mirror.

one

She sees herself in STEM

Every doll is modeled after real women in STEM, so girls meet heroes who look like them and do work they can dream of doing too.

two

She learns by playing

Stories, experiments, and games turn big ideas into something she can touch, try, and talk about.

three

She keeps growing

Each new friend opens a new door, from space to chemistry and beyond.

From the founder

Hi, I’m Bria.

I’ve always been fascinated by technology: how it works, what it makes possible, and who gets to build it. That curiosity has shaped so much of my life, and I want every girl to get to feel it too.

I started BriaNova to help more girls and women fall in love with STEM, and to start early, with dolls and stories that make science feel like it was made for them. Because it was.

Thank you for being here at the very beginning. I can’t wait for you to meet our first friends.
