MEET ARI

Designer, storyteller—occasional stand-up.

With almost a decade of experience in both agency and in-house settings within the Entertainment, HealthTech, Nonprofit industries, I bring big personality combined with clean typography and storytelling-driven design. Raised onstage, I believe every great project deserves a plot, punchline, and hearty payoff.

It’s my mentality great Design isn’t exclusively about clean grids—it can also evoke character and a strong point of view. Every pixel tells a story, and mine tend to be loud and entertaining.

Offscreen, you’ll find me sharing new + exciting stories with my artistic home at Definition Theatre, a cultural hub on on Chicago’s Southside amplifying BIPOC voices and emerging small business owners. Or if it’s a Monday—I’m likely teaching folks Werq Dance Fitness at Cheetah Gym in Chicago’s historic Andersonville gayborhood.
