About

Hey, I’m Ayanna! [uh-YA-nuh] - In case you were wondering.

I'm an email and integrated marketer who brings thoughtful storytelling to every campaign I touch. From strategy to execution, I love partnering with creative teams to build marketing that genuinely connects with customers. I have 7+ years of experience working with companies across retail, e-commerce and commercial real estate.

I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a degree in journalism, which is probably why I still geek out over a well-crafted subject line or piece of copy that actually connects.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring. I'm a San Francisco transplant and can usually be found scouting out pizza shops or on a CityGuides walking tour, embracing my inner tourist. My latest fascination is a list of park pavilions that were renovated by top architecture firms—I'm on a quest to visit them all, and I'm always amazed by how designers transformed traditional structures into architectural spectacles.

When I'm not exploring, I'm usually dancing, reading memoirs, or trying to keep my eight plants alive.

Yes, I am. I’m an introvert. I’m not shy, I’m a noticer. I am a thinker. I’m an observer.
