Bose Headphones x Graduation
During her final terms of college, Ariel decided to start creating mock-up campaigns to test out her music and videography skills. She wanted to pick brands she was passionate about- that had been part of her life. She quickly realized she wouldn’t have survived college if it weren’t for her Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones. To write music, study, walk around campus; she could focus and find inspiration in music thanks to those headphones. So, she made a campaign ad on being able to listen to what matters, and what she found in ending this chapter of life, was remembering who she was at the very first one.

Who Gives a crap?! Seriously…
With a task as constant and important as doing your daily duties, sustainability matters. Humans spend so much time in the bathroom - wouldn’t it be best to be more environmentally friendly in a situation that comes naturally?? Who Gives a Crap is a toilet paper subscription company that helps stop deforestation for the sake of regular toilet paper. Every roll is 100% recycled, biodegradable, and shipments are carbon neutral shipping. 50% of profits also go to places around the world that don’t have access to clean water and sanitation. They really do give a crap, and that’s why Ariel made a lighthearted ad just about as “cheeky” as they are.

Blundstone x National Parks
In September 2024, Ariel embarked on a long-awaited National Park tour - or at least the left side of the U.S. She hiked and explored over 15 terrains, all of which were done with a pair on Blundstone Boots. A pair that was already a few years old stood against rocks, dust, grassland, caves, even knee-deep water in The Narrows at Zion. They still allow her to explore today without issue. As an advocate for this brand, Ariel wanted to create a perspective on this trip solely from the use of the boots, almost to highlight the reason this brand of footwear was made - to be explored with.

The Single Wheel - One Man’s Dream
This was a video editing project that turned into a beloved interview of one man’s dream. Just him and his unicycle up against the world. Nothing more to say here.

Branding and Family: Sweet Cheeks Winery
Branding matters? Of course it does! How else would you implement who you are as a company and what story you want to tell your consumers? While in college, Ariel found community and a passion for the Willamette Valley AVA right in her backyard at Sweet Cheeks Winery. Having worked there for over two years, she went from knowing nothing about the wine-making process, to becoming a Lead Educator to peers and guests. Oregon is filled with wineries, but she felt drawn to a name like “Sweet Cheeks,” and fell in love with its story, family, and what they bring to the community. She created this promo video simply to share their story and her admiration for their brand.
