Meet Jupiter Bryant of Atlanta

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jupiter Bryant.

Jupiter, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I started my business in 2022 during my freshman year of college at Georgia Tech. I remember I was fed up with school and I was sitting in my dorm with my roommate Bella. I asked them, “do you think I should drop out of school to start a crochet business?” They said no, but they gave me the advice to start a business anyway alongside my schooling. So, I started Jupismoons.

Originally it started out as a crochet business, but I eventually discovered my love for making jewelry. I could make multiple unique pieces a day, while it took many hours to crochet a single piece. Jewelry making helped me stay excited with my business, which is why it’s still my specialty today!

I started vending at art markets shortly after I started my business. I mostly sold my art at GT Community Market to start, and then I expanded to other markets in Atlanta. As of June 2026, I have vended at more than 65 art markets.

I recently graduated from Georgia Tech and plan to spend more time on my business going forward. I hope to turn it into my full time career one day!

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Running my business while being a full time student and working 2 jobs hasn’t been easy. As an autistic person, I have faced burnout more times than I can count. But doing things I’m passionate about, such as jewelry making, helps me stay sane in times when work and school are overwhelming.

As a cancer survivor, I also struggle with chronic fatigue. This makes the physical labor of art markets hard for me, especially before I had a car. I remember lugging my giant box of art supplies on a 15 minute walk across Georgia Tech’s campus so I could vend at the GT Community Market. It was exhausting, but I loved running my business so much that I didn’t want to let my disability stop me.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I specialize in beaded jewelry, but I also make art prints, stickers, and more! I especially love making colorful jewelry with queer themes. I’m queer and nonbinary, and I want to make art that reflects that. A lot of my customers are queer as well, and I like making queer inspired jewelry that makes people feel seen. And of course, pretty jewelry is pretty jewelry regardless of who you are, so everyone can wear my work!

The creation I’m most proud of making is actually not jewelry at all. It’s a Garfield clock rug/wall hanging that I made with punch needle! It was the first time I ever tried punch needle, and it took me 6 months to make from start to finish. Many people know me for my love of Garfield and my Garfield collection, so I always love making art of him.

If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
Growing up, I was very eccentric, creative, and social. In high school, I was really into fashion and I loved planning elaborate outfits the night before school. I wore a lot of neon and rainbow outfits, and I had bright pink hair. I loved treating every day like a fashion show.

I was also really into making music back then. I sang in choir from age 10 to 18, and I started writing and producing my own songs in high school. I sang and played ukulele, guitar, and bass. I actually started out at Georgia Tech as a music technology major, but I ended up switching to Media & Communication. I still like making music from time to time today, but I don’t do it as much as I used to.
