About me

I’m Taylor Nakakihara, a content marketing and digital strategy specialist with over a decade of experience across social media, design, and communications.

I’ve worked with national corporations, local businesses, and nonprofits — from supporting Sun Communities’ 55+ luxury resorts to building brand awareness for the Arizona Association for the Gifted and Talented. I’ve developed everything from social campaigns and blog content to event programs, brochures, and complete marketing collateral packages.

My background is equal parts creative and strategic: I know how to capture attention with design and storytelling while keeping things aligned with measurable business goals. With skills in Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, social media management, SEO, and project management, I bring both the big-picture strategy and the day-to-day execution that make marketing work.

I’m passionate about helping small businesses and entrepreneurs bring their brands to life with the same level of professionalism I honed in the corporate world — paired with the flexibility and creativity that smaller teams need.

At its core, content strategy is about conversations. Every project starts with a question: Who am I talking to, and what do they need to hear? Sometimes it’s consumer-to-consumer, sometimes it’s brand-to-industry, sometimes it’s explaining a product or breaking down a concept.

I’m a natural conversationalist, which makes my work feel like second nature. Give me a goal: sell an item, promote an event, build awareness, strengthen a community, tell people you exist — and I’ll figure out how to get there using the right mix of social, email, and print. Turning those online and print conversations into strategies that actually land is where I shine.

Outside of client work, I spend my time creating as a lifestyle blogger, running my content and pop culture podcast, spending time with friends and family, or exploring local coffee shops across Arizona.
