Well, hello there. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the newest addition to our website - our blog! It's about time, isn't it?? I'm absolutely thrilled to get the blog up and running. I'll fill you in on what the heck it is that I do and what you can expect from our posts.

My name is Tanya Salcido, (newly married), the founder and creative juggler at Design Action Studios. Oh, I'm also a blog rookie! If you are a veteran blogger, please feel free to email me tips or if you feel like sending me an email just to connect - please do!

Working in the graphic design industry for over seven years has been especially fulfilling. I've been able to work on great projects and have met awesome designers. Along the way, I've gained marketing and social media experience. Are you a social media addict like I am? Please connect with me on Facebook and Twitter. Or do you not have a clue how to use Twitter? Send me a message and/or check our blog often. I'll post information relating to social media, so you can stay up to speed.

I feel truly blessed to have my own company. Over the past few years, I've been able to focus on my interests; design, technology, branding, and social media. So, how does that help my clients? They will always have the most up-to-date information on design and social media trends. Are you a small business owner interested in finding new ways to market yourself? We can develop a strategy to do just that.

As a bonus for reading to the end of this post (yeah I know it's short...remember I'm a rookie blogger), I'll leave you with a few top secret tidbits about me.
