After four years of working in the television industry, she has transitioned to the advertising world with Quirk - bringing her back to where it all began with commercials and creating a full circle moment!

Ariel has been editing TV and digital ads at Quirk since 2017. She works closely with all aspects of post production, from color correction to sound design and animation to ensure all of our video dreams come to life. Prior to that she was part of a filmmaking team at Google called YouTube Director where she worked hands-on with dozens of small businesses to help them stand out.
Her love for video advertising began in her youth when she found commercials on TV far more entertaining than kids shows. By age 11, she and her brother would create ads with their family camcorder about random items they found around the house in Madrid, Spain, where she grew up.
Her favorite part of editing is finding the magical details that evoke that emotional spark for the viewer. When she's not cutting away at her editing bay, Ariel enjoys riding her bike around Brooklyn, hiking in the Catskills, and being the proud mother of two cats and one tiny human.

Chris is a pop culture-loving, rootin'-tootin' westerner who's not really into cowboy or outdoorsy stuff. He does, however, love to write. That writing sometimes turns into an ad for a client, and other times it becomes a short film script or a comic book idea. He also writes and hosts the New York-based, pop culture podcast, G-Splash.
