Industrial Designer. Brand Specialist. Shorter in Person.

Hola! My name is Ariana. Born in Peru, based in Mexico City and creating for small business brands in New York City.

about

Designer for a living, rule-breaker always.

Let me start by saying I’m the bold yet perfectionist designer in the room. I like to break the rules, to swim against the tide, to be the rebel artist – but in a very precise way. What can I say, I like my projects well made – just how I like my tacos – and that usually entails being good at not only the creative part, but all the processes behind it.

I was born in Lima, Peru with a love for all things art. At 16, I moved to Mexico to study Industrial Design and got the opportunity to live in different cities from Latin America, the US & Europe – beautiful New York included. That’s where my love for design grew as well as my abilities and found something that I’m really good at: small businesses. I love to help small brands succeed through good design and see them evolve as they grow. Let’s do it together!

my specialties

I'm what you call "a jack of all trades".

The coolest & hardest part about working with small brands is that you get to wear all hats – at all times. Having worked for small businesses for the past decade has given me the experience and tools to work not only for different industries but to develop my design skills in several fields. The beautiful thing about design is that is everywhere, and therefore, you can apply your creativity, problem solving and design thinking to everything.

Branding

Whether creating concepts from scratch or developing ideas, we'll translate them into an actual brand people can get obsessed with.

Website Design

From very sleek interfaces to vibrant and fun, websites can bring the best out of your business or brand, while driving conversions.

interior Design

If your space is not the soul of your business, I don't know what is. Translate your vibe, feel and look to an actual place that is inviting & social media worthy.

Digital Marketing

This is one of those things that gets harder every year - that's why it's never good to do it alone. Let's make sure you are promoting your business right!

A little client love never hurt nobody

Ariana is a godsend. She has been our go-to designer for a while now and we have zero complaints. Even when we threw a curveball at her, she was able to deliver without missing a beat. She always has a smile on her face and we just love working with her!

Working with Ariana was a breeze! She really listened to our vision, and designed the perfect hair salon for us. I couldn't be more happy about how it turned out. All of the clients love how elevated it feels while still being welcoming. I'm definitely working with Ariana again when we renovate our next space too!

I have been working with Ariana for more than 5 years, and I can say that she is one of the most committed designers I've ever worked with. Always willing to take on new projects and delivers high quality work. Not only that, but she is also very talented and has a great eye for details.
