ABOUT

FOUNDER

Hello there! I'm Tawni Franzen, the creative force behind Ayari Studio. With a passion for design and art that's as boundless as my imagination, I'm on a mission to turn dreams into visual realities.

My journey in the world of art and design began at California Baptist University, where I honed my skills and earned my Bachelor of Arts in both Graphic Design/Digital Media and Visual Art. I've since ventured into the dynamic realm of graphic design, illustration, and more, and with over 10+ years of experience my work is not just a profession; it's a labor of love. I thrive on pushing boundaries, infusing every project with innovation and imagination. When I'm not crafting eye-catching visuals, you can find me exploring the outdoors, exploring the worlds of writing and music, and chilling with my two cats.

Let's embark on a creative adventure together, where imagination knows no limits!

Testimonials

"Tawni is exceptional in all respects and very talented... She is gifted as a forward leaning graphics designer and was very good at offering relevant drafts and options from the beginning. She took the time to see where I was aiming with my project (CD) and connected her drafts like she was in the room with my team while we worked on the music. Impressive! Her workflow was five star and her communication was the same throughout. I just never experienced anything except for a true professional, a very talented artist and great ally for the project.”

“Tawni did a fantastic job on the book cover design for my first novel. She completely adhered to the specifications and style that I desired, while at the same time offering a great deal of her own creative flare. The end result was a high quality, professional cover for which I've received a great deal of positive feedback. She was also on time and very communicative. The final finished book cover turned out better than I could have hoped for!”

"Tawni is an incredible graphic illustrator/designer. She was able to convert our ideas expressed verbally into product and packaging designs that were professional in appearance, and ready to bring to market. She was extremely patient with our numerous revisions and very detail oriented. Without a doubt, our company would hire her again!"

“Tawni was fantastic! She asked questions to understand exactly what I was looking for, then provided a number of different drafts for me to choose from. Her skill and knowledge in her profession are apparent and undeniable. Looking forward to working with her again!”
