​I come from a long line of quilters and crafters. My family's quilts often tell stories of a time, space, and moments. As I remember these unique quilts, I often wanted to tell my own story of my generation. The passion for storytelling has continued to drive me as a designer to be thoughtful in each detail as a design is stitched together.
​
Design enables you to merge cultural practices and technology into a form of communication. With a robust background in digital storytelling, asset design, and project management, combined with my passion for community-driven initiatives, I am enthusiastic about sharing my passion for visual communication and the social responsibility it continues to carry.
Kindly,
Ariana
