I’m Diana “Ember” Gray, nerd for hire.

Sometimes you need to hire a nerd.

No, it’s okay. I accept and embrace the term with my nerdy little arms. Go ahead, look at that picture to your right (or below if you’re on mobile) and call me a nerd. I embrace the term.

Anyway, nerds. We can do stuff for you. We have vast treasure troves of knowledge about all kinds of things you haven’t had the time, energy, or interest to figure out. It takes all kinds, as they say.

So, what kind of nerd am I?

I’m the kind of nerd who can help you find your audience on social media. Yes, even TikTok. Especially TikTok.

I also love graphic design, so look no further for your logo, infographic, and other fun graphic design needs.

I can also write blogs for you and help you find your brand voice so you can attract just the right types of humans to your business.

I’m especially eager to support and uplift small businesses founded by women, queer, and BIMPOC folx. We have unique voices and meet needs that have long gone unmet. If that’s you, I want to work with you. If price is an issue, let’s talk and see if we can find something that feels comfy.

And hey, if that’s not you, I still probably want to work with you because you’re here reading my bio.

Contact me and let’s see what kind of magic we can create together!

More images from my personal and professional life, just so you can get a better sense of the kind of human I am.

Presenting to CellMark Inc.’s West Coast division on behalf of the PaperSeed Foundation.

One of my greatest professional moments was getting to open a classroom block with the Kilgoris Project on as part of the PaperSeed Foundation.

This is my cat, B’Elanna Jolene. She’s the eldest of my three cats and very naughty.
