We had the good fortune of connecting with Giulia Triassi Kiara Kensie and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Giulia Triassi, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Our thought process behind starting our own business was we wanted to utilize our college degrees in a way that allowed us to take control of our full creative abilities and apply that to our own business. There is a lack of women in tech, especially the representation of Women of Color, Kiara and I actually bonded being the only two Women of Color in our web design class. We wanted to create a space in this industry that flourished in creativity, representation, and helping other business owners that look like us thrive.
We also wanted the freedom of being able to create our own schedules, be our own bosses, and travel/work remote. At Hunnibuzz we want to build a legacy and create a working culture that is truly diverse that works to uplift our community.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Hunnibuzz is a Digital Agency that strives to make tech an inclusive, comfortable, and attainable environment. We offer a helping hand in Web Design, Branding, Photography, Graphic Design and Marketing. Hunnibuzz builds from the ground up digitally- with you.
What sets us apart is that we are changing the game in this industry by highlighting diverse representation, building a community with our clients, and telling our story through imagery. We are executing a modern and futuristic marketing approach to a traditional industry that has stayed the same for too long.
We are most proud about all the support that our community has been showing us and we look forward to the future and where we can take Hunnibuzz as a company. We have been getting more clients than we expected and all it took was to stop hesitating and to believe in ourselves and launch our business.
It was not easy to get to where we are today, we are still learning and growing as business owners. It took a lot of patience, teamwork, discipline and consistency.
The lessons we’ve learned along the way is that owning a business is not an easy ticket out of a 9-5 job. It is a lot of work and a lot of hours. It is important to keep educating yourself, learning about business ownership and staying on top of business responsibilities.
We want the world to know that Hunnibuzz is out here! We are dedicated to helping small business owners take that next step into building their legacy.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
We would like to give a shoutout to Marci Scott-Andes for being one of our first major clients at Hunnibuzz and referring us to your platform, Marci was a joy to work and grow with.
We would like to also give a shoutout to the City of Long Beach, California for all the support we have received from our launch, without all the support from the community, Hunnibuzz wouldn’t be where we are at today.
