Let's get to know each other. Really.
Hello all! My name is Tiana. The first thing to know about me is that my online origins began with fandom. It's what kickstarted my passion for online community and led me to understand how those you surround yourselves with are those who help elevate you. Moving forward into further creative endeavors, I kept this sentiment with me. I want to help foster communities that aim to elevate voices often drowned out.
​
As we know, the internet is an evolving place and my work will always reflect that. I aim to grow with the flow and continue to push myself to remain relevant with you and your goals. Small businesses are important to my mission statement as I understand the struggles that come with getting your foot in the door to reach larger audiences.
​
Overall, I am someone who takes pride in where she came from. I am still involved in fandom spaces in a variety of ways, plus I work on smaller, independent projects that are community-based because of my love for collaborative environments. Let’s help you hop on board and get this train rolling!

Now, let's talk details.
Tiana Gaudioso is a digital-age graphics creator looking to work with small businesses eager to expand their social media presence in the local Phoenix area. She specializes in branding elements, online marketing, graphic communications, and creating an identity that lasts.
As someone who had the privilege of growing up alongside the internet, she got to watch it become what it is today: granting her a bright-point of knowledge into the way we interact with brands as we scroll. She applies this real-world experience in tandem with her BS in Graphic Information Technology from Arizona State University to deliver a branding style that assists in showcasing exactly who you are.
She is also the proud creator of her own independent projects such as Here In Now, an online (and hopefully one day printed!) magazine that elevates up-and-coming writers and artists. Creating platforms for unheard voices is one of her passions, whether that be professionally or creatively. Her goal is to blend these two worlds as efficiently as possible!
