Ariel Magidson

Ariel is disrupting the way we think about Interior Design. Until recently, the industry has been defined by wealthy individuals and large corporations. Worse, it’s one of the top contributors to landfills; 9 million+ tons of furniture are added each year (not even including the building materials!).

Ariel is out to make sustainable design for everyone… no really, everyone! Thousands of social media followers use her design hacks and tips everyday for free. She created Ariel Arts to work within anyone’s budget — from quick personalized advice to full-gut renovations, she’s got you. With each project, she uses empathy to guide her designs to be approachable, sustainable, and affordable. Her commitment to sustainability pushes the boundaries of interior design to reduce waste and create beautiful spaces effortlessly. And the best part? It’s all done virtually.

A Bay Area native, Ariel earned her BFA in Interior Architecture and Design from the Academy of Art University where she studied behavioral sciences and its unique correlation to design. To keep up the disruption pace, you can probably catch Ariel drinking far too much fair trade coffee around her favorite San Francisco neighborhoods.
