Hi, I'm Arielle
Call me "R.E.L."
I believe great design is inclusive, intuitive, and grounded in a deep understanding of people’s needs. By pairing empathy with strategic vision—for users, products, and teams—I invest in and establish connections that drive meaningful, measurable experiences.
When not designing, you can find me armchair philosophizing, baking pie (from scratch), watering my collection of orchids, feasting on potato tacos, and/or learning how to play electric guitar. I am not a natural at music, but I love a challenge and learning new things. I'm currently working on mastering the guitar solo in Nirvana's Smells like Teen Spirit.
