About Indy Biz + Brand | Your Partner in Business Growth
Meet the founder behind Indy Biz + Brand. With a Master’s in Digital Marketing, a Bachelor’s in Accounting, and over 20 years of experience running AriesGDIM and Highbaugh Tax, we offer a unique blend of creative and financial expertise.
Our Story: More Than a Business, It's a Partnership
Welcome to Indy Biz + Brand, the culmination of a 20-year journey dedicated to empowering small businesses and entrepreneurs. I’m Tami Highbaugh, the founder, and my career has been driven by a simple belief: for a business to truly thrive, its creative vision must be supported by strategic financial health.
This unique philosophy stems from my dual expertise. With a Bachelor’s in Accounting, I understand the critical numbers behind a successful business. With a Master’s in Digital Marketing, I know how to build a brand that connects and converts in the digital age. This rare combination is what sets us apart.
A Legacy of Service: Our Founding Companies
Indy Biz + Brand is built on the solid foundation of two established businesses I have independently owned and operated:
AriesGDIM (Graphic Design & Integrated Marketing): Since 2002, an all-inclusive creative agency specializing in powerful branding, graphic design, and strategic marketing that makes businesses stand out.
Highbaugh Tax: For years, a trusted resource providing tax consulting and preparation services tailored to individuals and small businesses, ensuring their financial compliance and success.
Indy Biz + Brand is the natural evolution of these services—a single, streamlined partner to handle your business’s creative identity and essential operational needs.

Meet the Founder: Tami Highbaugh
“After more than 20 years in business, I’ve seen firsthand the gap that often exists between a company’s creative ambitions and its financial reality. I started Indy Biz + Brand to bridge that gap. We provide the tools—both creative and financial—that entrepreneurs need to confidently build the business they’ve always dreamed of. We’re not just service providers; we’re your partners in growth.”
