Hi, I’m Ariel Carino, a visual designer and freelance artist based in Calgary. I’m currently studying Visual Communications Design at the Alberta University of the Arts and I enjoy turning ideas into engaging characters and illustrations. I work directly with clients to sketch, refine, and realize their vision, maintaining open communication throughout the project and delivering customized artworks. I bring a detail-oriented approach learned from production, inventory management, and quality-control roles, and I apply that focus to every piece I create for clients and collaborators.…Hi, I’m Ariel Carino, a visual designer and freelance artist based in Calgary.
