ABOUT ARIKA

I'm a creative technologist and strategist with over 14+ years of experience in communications, marketing, branding, content, customer experience, technology, and experience design.

 

My work has been featured in award-winning trade shows and even on Capitol Hill! I've worked in industries from environmental services to travel, and now I'm in IT services. Currently, I'm a senior user experience designer at GoDaddy. 

 

I'm a proud HBCU alumna of the illustrious Clark Atlanta University (CAU), and I hold a collection of professional certificates in storytelling, business innovation, risk management and more. I'm excited to be expanding my knowledge and expertise in responsible AI & Security and ethics as well as data privacy.

 

In my professional community, I have been recognized as a culture shifter.

  • 2023 LinkedIn Top Voice in Writing and User Experience Design,

  • 2023 nominee for WomenWhoCode Applaud Her: 100 Technologists to Watch,

  • WomenTech Network Ambassador since 2020, and

  • Named as a 2021 Fairygodboss VIP MVP.

I'm also a member of ForbesBLK, HerAgenda, Fairygodboss, WomenWhoCode,  Baddies in Tech, CAU's National Alumni Network  (Go Panthers!), Golden Key Alumni Network and more.

​

When I'm not working, I enjoy reading, cooking, traveling, and volunteering. I'm based in the Washington, D.C. area but always a plane ride away from my next adventure.
