Hello, I’m Arden!



I am a Seattle-born creative studying Communication Design and HCI at Carnegie Mellon University.

Recently, I held design internships with Croninand Carnegie Mellon’s SLICE Office (now SIT).  I’m currently designing for the International Poetry Forum and serving as Design Director for Haute Glue.

I love creating motion graphics, designing visual systems, and experimenting with typography. In my practice, I often blend illustration, animation, and design to explore dynamic ways of telling stories. I am deeply influenced by alternative subcultures (a byproduct of growing up in the Seattle punk scene) and this drives me to create work that is direct, expressive, and often experimental. Through design, I aspire to honor and uplift fringe communities.

When I’m not designing, I’m learning new skate tricks or sketching at a cafe!
