Here are some kind words from people I’ve worked with.

Testimonials

  • "Ariana is one of those rare people who can immediately command the attention of a room with her energy, intelligence, and ability to tell a story. In fact, I had this very experience the first time we met and immediately set out to have her tell the Clearcover story. She and her team built our online identity, created content for recruiting, and designed and built collateral for investors, growth, and just about everything else in our business. Throughout, she brought that same energy, passion, and talent for telling the Clearcover story, the stories of our employees, and the stories of our customers. Ariana's talent is quite obvious and her ability to connect with people is second to none."

  • "It is easy to say and do more with more - more time, more words - but the real skill lies is saying the most with the least. Every visual, every word, every sound, made sense in the final product. Ariana was a great partner in the process, balancing what she heard from us with what she knew would work - and it did work. In fact, we are still using the video as we expand relationships within this potential client and add internal team members to the pursuit. I recommend Ariana without reservation and in fact, look forward to working with her again."

  • "Simply put, Ariana is a force of nature. It's rare to have a person who creates 2X or 3X value for the company. Ariana probably created 10X value for GiveForward. She has ability to gauge a situation, instantly understand the business needs of all the players involved, come up with a solution and then make it happen. I think her secret sauce is that she is not only incredibly smart, but EVERYONE loves Ariana - literally everyone. She is a natural born leader with a warm, funny, and infectious personality. Lots of people have great ideas. But it's rare to find people who have great ideas AND the ability to lead people to the same conclusion. Ariana is one of those people. It was a joy to work with her and if I had the opportunity I would do it again in a heartbeat."

  • "Ariana is, by far, the most customer-focused brand expert I’ve ever worked with. She takes the time to understand customer needs, builds the brand around those needs, and then continually delivers big and small projects with everything aligned. Even better, she is a joy to work with while executing it all. I’ve learned so much from her already and look forward to continuing to do so."

  • "I recently had the pleasure of working with Ariana on a corporate video project, to tell a story about our product and services. This could have been just another video, but not with Ariana on-board. She has an unflinching eye for quality of story, an uncompromising attitude that what results from her work will be the best it can be. Ariana is a truly great creative talent; I cannot wait to work with her and her team once again!"

  • "Ariana has been one of my favorite people to work with over the years. Super smart, with a heart to match - it's really encouraging to work with someone who honestly cares about the work they do and the difference it makes in the world."

  • "You know that saying, "You can't sell a butcher a steak"? Ariana probably could. She is so sharp, well organized, ambitious, and just all around awesome. It's sometimes a little dizzying, but she is definitely someone you want on your side. I had the pleasure of working on many projects with her at GiveForward and she was the perfect balance of someone with a vision but also someone who is willing to listen to your recommendations. Talent, wit and humility are a powerful combination."
