Arielle approaches her service to the sector with accountability, authenticity and vulnerability – all while upholding her personal values that create space for individuals to show up as their full selves. She is a self-taught graphic designer who has built a successful business supporting social enterprises from the ground up and creating dynamic visuals for visionaries and incorporates dynamic design in her projects where possible.

 Impact Approach | Arielle is passionate about supporting organizations that work with marginalized communities and politicized/othered identities to build power and move BIPOC perspectives and experiences from the margins to the focal point toward collective and transformative action. As a mission-driven individual, Arielle enjoys helping clients improve systems and embody their values internally and externally by identifying the behaviors that make ideas tangible and actionable in service of true transformation and mission impact. |

 Outside of Work | Arielle recently relocated to the Southeastern U.S. to be closer to her niece and nephews. Playing with them, going on adventures, and reading stories with voices and silly movements help to fill her cup while there is so much need for transformative and lasting change. |
