Julianne's Author Page on Amazon

About the author:

After beginning her career in design, Julianne decided that it wasn't enough for her. With a passion for coaching her clients and business associates on how to market themselves, she focused on showing her clients how to promote themselves for free. Then, social media took the stage and became a great fit in her vision to educate others. She still loves to design, but she likes to focus on the client's brand as a whole, not just a business card design or individual flyer design.

Continuing her quest for helping people with their marketing and social media, Julianne has spoken for several small and large groups, all for small businesses. She has played a key role in several professional groups in Ventura: Ventura Chamber of Commerce, Heartlink Networks, Ventura County Professional Women's Network, LEADS Group of Ventura, Ventura Young Professionals' Group, and JCICI.

Julianne grew up in Andover, MA, but has lived in Ventura, CA, since 1999. She has a B.A. in Fine Art, a B.S. in Computer Animation, and an A.A. in Multimedia and Web Design. She is the owner of BlackFire Studios and the Creative Director and Social Media Strategist for Scratch Brands, Inc.
She lives with her wonderful husband Joshua and the greatest Great Dane ever, "Batman". In her spare time she enjoys fine art, graphic novels, writing and gardening.

As Julianne steps forth with her new book, Traversing the Jungles of Social Media: An Idea & Etiquette Field Guide for Small Businesses, she remembers the words of Bill Cosby, "In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure."
