Arielle Knapp
Art Director
Stamford, CT, USAOriginally from Princeton, New Jersey, I have always enjoyed Art and Design projects. As a graduate of Syracuse University, I pursued the Communications Design program with an Art Photography Minor to complete my personal interests. I approach new challenges with motivation, enthusiasm and set high standards of quality. I am always excited to learn new methods of conceptualizing, problem-solving and project execution. My core strengths include visual communication, problem-solving, brand identification, package and publication design, typographic exploration, collaborative work and doing whatever it takes to deliver quality projects. In addition to designing, my other interests are dancing, exploring the world through travel, and enjoying a good laugh with friends.
I am available for freelance work.
