Trained in the fine-art traditions of printmaking, etching, lithography, and silkscreen, Ariana has worked at leading fabrication studios including the Brodsky Center, the Lower East Side Printshop, the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop, and the Glasgow Print Studio. There, she produced editions for blue-chip artists, with works held by institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

This expertise led her to Parsons School of Design, where she served as the Director of the Printmaking Department for seven years. Ariana's commitment to the heritage of the handmade is rooted in the visual opulence of history's great decorative arts traditions and reimagined for contemporary branding and celebration.
