Co-Founder and Marketing Guru

In every group, company, organization, and otherwise, there is always one person who ultimately signifies the backbone of the collective and can often be the unsung hero. Annie Vranizan, while she is just beginning to embark on her career post-college, can quite easily fit that description and undoubtedly does so outside of her professional parameters. Exuding a harmonious balance of determination, patience, and endurance, Ms. Vranizan leverages her skills in the workplace gained from years of competitive sports and team leadership.

A graduate of the University of Nevada, Ms. Vranizan excelled in her Business Administration and Marketing curriculum while doubling as an athlete on the NCAA Division I Ski Team, all the while finding time to achieve academic notoriety as a member of the Dean’s List and becoming the recipient of multiple scholarships. The College of Business at the University of Nevada awarded her an Outstanding Senior for Academic and Community Involvement. Ms. Vranizan also competed and was a graduate finalist in the Donald Reynolds Business Plan Competition for a new technology that can be applied to solar energy storage.

A native of Portland, Oregon, this well traveled young woman was the first person to join the Vivanista team. Prior to Vivanista, Ms. Vranizan honed her project management skills in residential design and renovation. She also coached ski racing and lead training activities for technical development to young athletes for several west coast teams.

Annie is knowledgeable of web design and development, social media marketing, and continually impresses her colleagues with her inspiring ability to accomplish everything with flying colors. Aside from diligently logging countless hours perfecting the Vivanista site, Ms. Vranizan finds time to indulge her passion for athletics, perhaps where she releases stress because at work, she’ll never let you see her sweat and is always a breath of fresh (and calming) air.
