Hi there, I’m Jianna Mariel!

​I’m fluent in sarcasm, can find the perfect gif for any conversation, and you can usually find me tagging my friends in memes while they're right next to me. But what you really want to know:

I have a passion for turning ideas into beautiful, captivating graphics.

As a former engineering student, I found my purpose in solving problems and serving others. What started as a fun way to complete school projects, design quickly became a skill I wanted to cultivate outside of the academic setting. (Here's my resume if you're curious.)

Having an entrepreneurial spirit, it only made sense to use my love of design and editing to benefit others, namely, you! If you’re ready to take your brand to the next level, then let’s talk. Together, we’ll define your vision and create visuals that bring out the core of your business.

 BEHIND THE NAME:
Just as I have changed over the years, The Missing C has meant something different over time. A nod to my last name which is "missing" from many of my social media accounts- originally a safety precaution from when I first joined the online community at a young age, it has now become the hallmark of my brand. First featured as my blog title, The Missing C: crafts, college, and coffee, I now offer design services under this name.

A symbol of the different roles I assume when supporting brands and business, the purpose of The Missing C is to help entrepreneurs with content creation, community engagement, and so much more. The story behind the name is an important part of my entrepreneurial journey and one I wanted to share with all of you. It's a reminder of my personal and professional growth and as I continue to develop my skills and services, I display it like a proud badge- representing my early start with digital marketing and web design. 
A couple more things about me...
  • I’ve always loved the tv/film industry but took it to the next level by learning to edit gifs and graphics when I was only 12 years old! I used those skills to create and manage fan sites (which I still do to this day)!
  • I love traveling and the inspiration that it brings. I’m even introducing my younger sister to the world of entrepreneurship by starting a travel and review blog with her. Check it out at marielsquared.com!
  • I also enjoy other creative outlets and you will see some of my crafts and art projects on my blog from time to time.
