I’m Teanna LaNise Ross, BFA, MBA, a strategist, creative director, entrepreneur, program leader, trainer, facilitator and community advocate based in Southern California.
For nearly two decades, I’ve built a career around helping people and organizations transform ideas into something tangible.
My professional journey began in creative design and entrepreneurship when I founded Kreative Eye Design in 2007. What started with graphic and web design evolved into years of helping entrepreneurs and organizations strengthen their brands, clarify their positioning and communicate their work with greater intention.
But my career didn’t stop with creativity.
Over time, my work expanded into organizational leadership, behavioral health, workforce development, peer support, training, program implementation and community engagement.
Today, I lead complex initiatives, develop systems and programs, manage teams and partnerships, facilitate professional training, support workforce development, advise entrepreneurs and organizations, and continue providing strategic creative direction through Kreative Eye Design.
The thread connecting all of my work is clarity.
I naturally see connections between ideas, people, systems and opportunities.
I ask questions.
I organize what feels complicated.
I identify what may be missing.
And then I help build a pathway forward.
That approach has allowed me to work across industries and communities while remaining grounded in the same mission:
Helping women, families, businesses and communities grow through empowerment, creativity and connection.
Experience Meets Education
My professional perspective combines formal education, lived experience and hands-on leadership.
I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communication and an MBA in Marketing, along with professional training and certifications spanning entrepreneurship, digital marketing, peer support, behavioral health, crisis support, supervision, domestic violence advocacy and facilitation.
But credentials tell only part of the story.
Some of my most important lessons have come from building a business, leading teams, navigating complex systems, supporting communities, managing high-stakes programs and learning how to turn challenges into actionable solutions.
Built on Knowledge. Backed by Experience.
The Experience Behind the Strategy
Strategy requires more than vision. It requires knowledge, leadership, adaptability, and the ability to turn ideas into meaningful outcomes.
My professional journey brings together business strategy, creative direction, organizational leadership, workforce development, and community advocacy. Each discipline has strengthened my ability to approach challenges from multiple perspectives, connect people and resources, and develop solutions that move beyond ideas into action.
From the boardroom to the classroom, from entrepreneurial ventures to community-centered initiatives, I bring a combination of academic preparation, specialized training, and real-world experience to every opportunity.
