Hi, I am Tatiana Ward aka TATIII THE ARTIST, owner of DESIGN BY TATIII LLC. I have been an artist my entire life. Here are my professions: Graphic Design, Photography, Videography, and Digital Art. I graduated from Western Illinois University in 2022 with a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design. During my years at Western, I accomplished so many things. I also created the first black artist organization in April 2022 called the Black Artist Guild. I started a successful business at 18 years old called, Design by Tatiii, and a second business my sophomore year called, Shots by Tatiii. Through these two businesses and professions, I can create a variety of designs and images for others. I am looking to expand my businesses and clientele.
