Hello! 〖≧◡≦✿〗 My name is Ariela Ortiz (23f) and I graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2022, where I pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Advertising and Public Relations along with two minors in Spanish and Digital Media.

I took on a couple freelance positions mainly focusing on creative marketing and graphic design after graduating from UCF.

In April 2023, I decided to capitalize my artistic abilities (you gotta do what you gotta do) and run my own small business on the side. I became a frequent vendor at local art and farmers markets in Orlando. I design, paint and hand-make all of my products which include stickers, prints, original art, apparel, candles and more.

A little more about me:

- Insane Letterboxd enthusiast, I will convince you to download it if you haven't already (I pitch it as if it were my own app).

- Huge foodie with a caffeine addiction (started drinking coffee at the ripe age of 9 thanks to my Costa Rican family)

- Always have the urge to learn and perfect new art mediums (in desperate need of a studio)

- I collect many things! From vintage match boxes and cigar boxes to smiskis and sonny angels, you could say I am an organized hoarder.

- I consume copious amounts of media! TV shows and movies alike, I will always have something to talk about.

- I am always down for a good time! Need a travel buddy? Look no further! I will book a flight and join you on your next adventure. Minimum 2 business day notice (although I have booked with less notice before)

I encourage you to visit my social media and portfolio for more information and insight into my abilities:
