Hey ya'll, I am Kiana "V." Ware.
I'm an Atlanta-based graphic designer, artist, musician, photographer, and poet. Starting my business at 15, I began painting t-shirts for friends and peers in middle school. Studying construction management in undergrad, I learned to incorporate technical tools like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to create digital artwork. Before I knew it I was building the six-figure design firm as we know it today - BeWare Designs.
Priding myself in versatility, I have over 13 years of experience leading projects in the commercial, private and government sectors as well as 10+ years of experience as a Graphic Artist/CEO. The dream has always been to quit my day job to become a full-time entrepreneur. I have spent the last six months focusing on my business full-time and have been featured in several published works for my illustrations, commissioned countless logo designs, custom canvases, and murals. To learn more about me and my work go to www.bewaredesigns.com/about.
Photography has always been a passion of mine, and over my journey of entrepreneurship I purchased my first camera to capture my artwork and market it for sale. Once I made that investment I found myself capturing candids for strangers, then events for family, to landing contracts with universities for their banner campaigns. Photography is just another medium of art for me. And I feel blessed to continue sustaining my lifestyle with things I love to do.
“I am an artist first. And I believe that should be evident in everything I touch. Whether it be a painting, an excel workbook, or a renovation project. Art has no limit... and that's what makes it so powerful.” - Kiana "V." Ware
