Women in Business Summit Task Force

The world of small business is the pulsing heartbeat of our community. For me, there’s nothing luckier than getting to roll up my sleeves and help small businesses flourish. This thrill of making a real difference, propels me to aim sky-high and deeply care for you and your clients. It’s nice to meet you. I’m Tarah Beyer.

From my early days of six-years-old, you could see where I was going. Having the time of my life, masterfully crafting my little masterpieces at the mercy of a kids’ paint program. Fast-forward and I got my degree from UWRF, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis on Graphic Design & Photography.

After some years of experience, a thrilling chance bubbled up to be a part of something larger, something more, all while honoring my initial mission to serve. I could barely contain my excitement as I prepared to help small businesses blossom with Dapper Dog Marketing & Design.
