Hi, I’m Ariel Beninca, a freelance digital experience designer based in Brisbane 🇦🇺   I'm passionate ✨ about crafting digital masterpieces, be it product design, UX/UI, or brand design with a creative edge 🎨

My desk setup is my little haven — a place that just gets me. It's amazing how having this spot, so calm and organized, can light up my motivation.  It's the kind of space that I not only enjoy being in but also where I get my best work done. The calm that envelops it, matched with the generous pour of natural light, makes it more than just a work area—it’s my own personal nook for creativity and focus.

I have always had a passion for design, I have been told I was born for it. Design is a universal skill not limited to one medium, it’s everything from designing products, decor, architecture, processes, policy, and fashion. In high school it was the coming of a digital centric era, I was fascinated by the magic of websites and spent countless hours figuring out how to piece them together. It wasn’t long before I realised that to truly bring my visions to life, I needed code. That’s when I stumbled upon Treehouse to learn how to code, learning things from simple html, sass, and php Wordpress templates.

I went to Griffith University on the Gold Coast at age 17, where I created designs and websites for clients right from my dorm room. My website was featured on various website award sites and blogs, which opened the door to international freelance opportunities. Fast forward through internships, full-time gigs at places like BLK Sports, and a stint as a UX/UI designer with Experience Oz, and you’ll find me setting my sights on Brisbane in 2015. There, I joined JSA Creative, pushing the boundaries of my UI/UX design capabilities to evolve into a better designer.

In 2019, I embraced the freelance life full-time, drawn to the flexibility and mental health benefits of working from home.The world shifted towards remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic. This new era has not only changed perceptions of working from home but has also expanded the opportunities available, regardless of location.

I'm incredibly grateful for where this journey has taken me and am excited for what lies ahead. Whether you're looking for someone to bring a fresh, creative perspective to your project, or just want to chat about the latest in design and technology, I’m here to make something spectacular together. Let's connect!
