About

Who am I?

My name is Ariel Ellis, yes I was named after the Little Mermaid. I was born and raised in Ohio and that is where I currently reside.

For over nine years, I have committed myself to designing, implementing/developing, and improving websites and web-based interfaces as well as digital marketing initiatives. I have now ventured into instructional design because I have always had a love for helping & teaching individuals. I grew up in an educational environment, I have family members who are teachers, professors, principals, & instructors.

‍

I graduated Cum Laude in 2015 from Bowling Green State University with a bachelor’s degree in Visual Communication Technology, a program that allowed me to specialize in interactive media, and also gain print, photography and video skills. I later graduated in 2022 from Bowling Green State University with a Master’s in Education in Instructional Design Technology.

In my spare time I love shopping, traveling, & spending time outdoors with my spunky Labrador Retriever, Carlton.
