Meet Annie!

Hi, I’m Annie Giudicessi and I am HeyGiud Communications. That’s not meant to be an “I am Iron Man” sort of statement, it is meant literally, though I would much rather get to say that as cool as Tony Stark does. I am a one-person operation so I really do everything at HeyGiud. I am the CEO, I am the Content Strategist, I am the Designer, I am the Copywriter and Editor, I am the Salesperson, I am Customer Service, I am the Photographer and I am also the person who replies to emails, answers the phone and takes out the garbage. Being a small business owner isn’t all glitz and glamour, actually, in my experience, there is not nearly enough glitz and very little glamor. But there’s no way I’d trade what I do every day to do anything else. I love it.

While being a Small Business Owner is an important title, it’s only part of who I am. I am also a daughter, a sister, and an aunt. I serve as a Board Member for Central Iowa Center for Independent Living, a volunteer, and an activist. I am a wannabe photographer, writer, and music lover. I am a lifelong resident of the Beaverdale neighborhood in Des Moines. I am a Central College alum. I am a hobby baker. I am a stationery addict and paper planner lover. And if you couldn’t tell from the Iron Man reference above, I’m also a nerd.
