About Me
As a UX Designer at IBM iX, I provide research, data-driven, design thinking solutions to my team and clients. I enjoy speaking to users and finding those valuable nuggets that allows me to create and iterate thoughtful, helpful experiences. That’s my favorite part of my role.
When I’m not designing, you can find me stopping every dog in the street in hopes I can pet them (85% success rate, woo!), enjoying an animated film or making a mess in my sketchbooks (traditionally/digitally).
“Every great design begins with an even better story.”

Ariel has great energy and puts the work in to get the job done. He is a great team player willing to help others and also asks for help when he wants to learn more. Would highly recommend his skills and expertise and am sure he would make a great asset to any team.

“Hi Ariel! Working with you on the SSGA-EMEA project has been an absolute pleasure. I really appreciate how you go above and beyond in everything you do. You always make sure to create documents, tweak power points, and make edits, even before asked. You have also grown immensely as a designer since I've started working with you. Your design recommendations for the client were innovative and creative, garnering extremely positive responses from both the client and the users (as well as other designers). I also appreciate how you always try to make work sessions fun, as well as your openness to meet new people and make new friends.”
