Jordan Reid grew up in New York City, studied cognitive neuroscience at Harvard University, and worked as an actress for over a decade before turning her focus to her true passions - fashion, beauty, entertaining, home décor, and DIY - by creating the lifestyle website RamshackleGlam.com. She is the author of Ramshackle Glam: The New Mom's Haphazard Guide To (Almost) Having It All, Carrying On: Style, Decor and More For The Nervous New Mom, both from Perseus Books, and The Big Fat Activity Book For Pregnant People, cowritten with Erin Williams and coming from Penguin Random House in Spring 2017.

Reid has been called "a star of the post-expertise how-to landscape" by The New York Observer, and Ramshackle Glam (www.ramshackleglam.com) has been deemed a "survival guide for those who don't have a clue how to be domestic" by the Daily Beast. In a feature on Ramshackle Glam, Time Magazine wrote, "Of all the changes wrought by social media, few underscore the reach of the individual like the rise of Reid."

Reid has conceptualized, styled and executed national campaigns for companies including Dove, TJ Maxx, DKNY, Simple Skincare, and Ecco Domani, and has appeared in a wide variety of publications and websites, including InStyle, New York Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, and The Nest. She has spoken at fashion and beauty events around the country, hosted two seasons of the Meredith Video Studios-produced home decor show Jordan In The House, and hosted two series of a beauty-focused show for Allure Magazine.

Reid presently lives in the Bay Area with her husband, their two children, and their two dogs.
