    About

    I'm Ariel, a professional YouTube thumbnail designer specializing in the gaming space.

    I've worked with some of the biggest creators in Fortnite, consistently creating thumbnails that stand out in the feed and deliver results.

    With GTA 6 on the horizon, I'm expanding into one of gaming's biggest upcoming releases, bringing that same experience to a new audience.

    My approach goes beyond making something look good. A thumbnail has well under a second to win against everything else in the feed, so every design is built around one goal: capturing attention and giving viewers a reason to click.
