About Cianna Garrison

Since 2017, Cianna Garrison has been writing about everything from food news and limited-time products to the details on the latest iPhones and earbuds. She began working for HTG as a tech reviewer in 2022. In the past, she’s worked for online magazines, blogs, and more, with technology being one of her primary interests.

 

Cianna’s interest in tech began in the early 2000s when she scored her first gaming console and was cemented when she got a pink Motorola Razr. She’s worked as a journalist, content writer, and blogger for lifestyle, personality theory, and social news verticals, to name a few, and has appeared in Elite Daily, Truity, Bustle, Inverse, Reader’s Digest, Taste of Home, Apartment Therapy, and more. In tech, she loves reviewing the latest laptops, audio devices, and smart home products. She’s also a former contributor to Android Police, covering tech how-tos. 

 

She earned her BA in English from Arizona State University in 2017, and resides in Southern California, where it’s much too hot and never rains. When she isn’t writing for work, she’s writing fiction and poetry or dabbling in one of her various creative hobbies.
