I’m Ariana Strzalka - a visual storyteller, creative strategist, and marketing professional, and it’s my job to bring brands to life.

With a foundation in photojournalism and a talent for creating authentic and engaging content, I’ve built a career around crafting meaningful experiences that connect people to purpose. Whether I’m designing a campaign, producing visual media, or shaping brand narratives, I create with curiosity, clarity, and creativity.

At Eastern Michigan University, I develop marketing strategies that don’t just inform, they inspire action. I help ideas grow and stories stick. Before that, I worked with teams in manufacturing and nonprofits, expanding brand identities, producing multimedia content, and leading projects from concept to completion.

I’m passionate about blending strategy and data with storytelling to create work that feels as good as it performs.
