Bryce Nash - Founder & CEO
Bryce Nash is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Beechwood Magazine, based in Orlando, Florida. His path to the state — and to Beechwood — traces through New York, New Jersey, Canada, and the Virgin Islands, a life in motion that shaped both his worldview and his creative instincts before he ever put a magazine together.
At Beechwood, Bryce leads the creative direction and vision of the publication from end to end — developing strategy, facilitating business relationships, and driving every major project forward. But what he is most proud of isn't a single shoot or edition. It's the community. Finding people who share the same belief in unity, inclusion, and self-expression, and building something together that none of them could have built alone.
When he isn't working on Beechwood, Bryce is designing and sewing clothes from base sketches, continuing a fitness journey that began in his collegiate athletic career, or deep in a thrift run — traveling across different areas in search of clothing, antiques, books, and anything with a story worth keeping.
His creative influences are wide and deliberate. He draws from directors like Spike Lee, Gabriel Moses, Cole Bennett, and Renell Medrano, and photographers like Rafael Pavarotti — creatives who carved space for people like him. In fashion, he looks to Jonathan Anderson for his ability to bring his own sensibility to every house he touches without losing what makes each one distinct. To Wales Bonner for a seamless, deeply personal blending of the cultures that formed her. To Yohji Yamamoto for his refusal to chase trends and his insistence that everyday dressing remain creative and free. To Virgil Abloh for proving that the smallest change to an existing idea can give it entirely new meaning. And to newer discoveries like Robert Wun — whose Spring/Summer Valor collection stopped him in his tracks — and Studio Shibuya, an Instagram-based label making one-of-one pieces that speak to the love of design for design's sake, untethered from capital ambition.
Bryce has been in Florida since 2018 and describes the state as something that doesn't reveal itself in a single moment — it's something Florida exudes every day. Coming from the North, he noticed immediately how differently people meet each other here, how culture is shared, how the interactions feel. What has struck him most is that in a state this much of a melting pot, he has never once felt out of place.
His personal style is, by his own description, ambidextrous. A Northern instinct for layering meets island ease meets Florida humidity, and the result is a closet that holds street casual, quiet luxury, cocktail, and coastal all at once — and rotates freely between them. The one constant is a love of baggy clothing, a preference that says everything about how he moves through the world: comfortably, on his own terms.
Bryce started Beechwood because it was the thing he always wanted but was never told was available to him. Steered by his community toward safer, more expected paths, he built the space he wished had existed — one where people who were never handed a platform for self-expression can show up as exactly who they are. Beechwood's mission is not to dictate what is fashionable or what to buy. It is to showcase, unify, and integrate people from different cultural backgrounds, ages, and regions who want to share their art, their expression, and their community in a way that is honest and beautiful. His hope is that Beechwood becomes a safe space — one where self-expression is celebrated, and different cultures are appreciated and shared rather than appropriated or erased.
Currently reading Great Expectations by Charles Dickens alongside The Fashion System by Roland Barthes — one to make him think, one to expand what he knows. Finishing up Better Call Saul and Jujutsu Kaisen, and still sitting with His & Hers, a show that had him second-guessing long after it ended.
