first, you have to choose a style from which you start, something which looks
similar to what you want to achieve. The default biblatex styles installed by
your TeX Distribution are somewhere in …/tex/latex/biblatex Here you have a bbx
and cbx folder. bbx is for the bibliography, cbx for the in-text citations.
Copy the style which fits your needs to ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/biblatex (you
have to create this folder and the bbx and cbx subfolders) and rename them to
your liking. Once you’ve done that, you can simply call the new style with
\usepackage[style=<yourstyle>]{biblatex}.
If you want to add a new field, you have to tell biblatex that it exists. For
this, you have to create a .dbx file in which new fields are defined. This is
explained here:

Once you’ve done that, biblatex knows about your new field and you can use it
in your style files like any other field.
