Strategist (XiQ) | Innovation Leader | Technologist

ABOUT ARIKA
I'm a senior experience designer + strategist, technologist and an aspiring social enterprise powerhouse. As a native of the Washington, D.C. area, I have more than 13 years of combined expertise in communications, marketing, branding, customer experience, technology and experience design for a range of industries, including small businesses. Currently, I'm one of the Sr. UX Service Designers at GoDaddy, where I curate end-to-end experiences for everyday entrepreneurs.
I'm a proud HBCU graduate of the illustrious Clark Atlanta University, and I hold a collection of professional certificates in storytelling, UX/CX, leadership and digital marketing (to name a few!).
In my spare time, you can find me micro-mentoring, blogging (see my Blog), stargazing, cooking, traveling, and volunteering.
