About Me

Hi I’m Ariel, I’m a UX designer with 6+ years of experience in blending design and strategy to craft thoughtful experiences that solve complex problems. Currently at G2O I tailor customer experience transformation solutions for a wide range of industries. Previously at Mile Two, I tackled large-scale Department of Defense (DoD) challenges ranging from cyber defense operations to air war mission planning.

Coming from four generations of designers, a creative career was a natural path for me. However, my strong analytical side, driven by a fascination with human thought processes, often felt at odds with this. While studying Graphic Design at The University of Cincinnati, I quickly discovered that UX design perfectly blended my creative and logical strengths. This inspired me to pursue a path where I could both deeply understand human problems and solve them through design.

Throughout my career, I’ve found that harmonizing strategic processes, user-centered design methodologies, and my analytical mind with an eye for aesthetics consistently results in solutions that are both functional and enjoyable to use. My work with the DoD and in customer experience has cultivated an enjoyment in uncovering design opportunities in complex systems and experiences, and deepened my fascination with emerging technologies.

I’m always on the lookout for new challenges that fuel my passion for continuous learning and encourage me to explore novel pathways for creative problem-solving. If that aligns with you, let’s connect!
