What does it mean to be an innovator to you?
To me, being an innovator is about being curious. A curious mind leads to questions, which typically serve as the starting point on the journey to solving problems, both great and small.Dabi Adeyemi

Diana Brandt
Influencer
Diana Brandt—also known as Arizona Foodie—began sharing food photos in 2014 as a way to create a community around food locales. As she began her journey, Brandt’s goal was only to help support the food industry and to try to shine a spotlight on all the amazing things happening in town. She had no idea that taking pictures of food and posting on social media would lead to it being a career. Since Arizona Foodie was whipped up, Brandt has been able to create her own event, Smoked, host the podcast Social Dysmorphia and even launch her own coffee line, Brew’d. arizonafoodiemag.com, @azfoodie
