Why would you want to learn from me? I have no design degree or formal training, after all.

But that's just it. I bootstrapped my way from part-time administrative assistant to head graphic designer at a Los Angeles creative agency. And now, after 10 years of designing, I've built a design business that provides for my family in a way I never imagined possible.

In the beginning, it wasn't an 8-week course or formal training that taught me the ins & outs of design programs. It was a mentor. Someone who was willing to hop on a Zoom call with me and quickly show me how to use the tools I needed to develop this incredibly valuable, new (money-making) skill.

Which is exactly what I want to do for you. Simplify the programs, ease the overwhelm and give you the essential knowledge you need to get started.

Hi, I’m Ariel - a self-taught, multi-six-figure designer & business owner on a mission to show you what's possible for your life.

you don't need a degree or expensive courses to be a graphic designer.

You can be a self-taught graphic designer.

and I want to help you get started.
