Hi, I’m Oriana, an Argentinian student at FIU. I create ideas that sit at the intersection of strategy and art direction. I’m really into creative direction, campaign building, and shaping concepts from the initial insight to the final visual. I tend to look at things with a mix of structure and intuition, always trying to make work feel intentional, current, and visually strong. I’m naturally curious, so I’m constantly observing, learning, and pulling references from different places to build ideas that people don’t just see, but actually connect with.

Hi, I’m Ariana Harnisth.from Ecuador i just move I Miami 4 months ago I graduated in Advertising and I’m currently pursuing my master’s at FIU and Miami Ad School in the strategy track

Beyond what I study, I’m someone who’s very driven by curiosity. I’m constantly looking for inspiration in different places film, photography, fashion, even everyday moments. I care a lot about understanding people, how they think, what they feel, and how small details can turn into powerful ideas.

I’d say I’m both creative and observant, but also very hands on. I like being involved in the process from start to finish, not just thinking ideas but actually bringing them to life. I’m also someone who values growth a lot I’m always trying to push myself, learn something new, and evolve both personally and creatively.

For me, advertising isn’t just about selling something, it’s about creating stories and experiences that people can genuinely connect with but more than that GIVE THEM THE SURPRISE FACTOR

I’m currently on the Art Direction track at Miami Ad School, where I’m developing my approach to creating visually driven, conceptually strong work. I’m especially drawn to the aesthetics and brand identity side of advertising, I believe visual representation isn’t just about how something looks, but how it communicates, influences perception, and shapes meaning.

Picture this: you’re sitting in a campaign review at one of India’s largest banks, looking at the brief, and thinking I could make this so much better.

That was me, every time, at ICICI Bank. As a Partnership Manager handling travel and entertainment tie-ups, I lived in the world of brand campaigns but always from the business side of the table.

Then I came to Miami on a holiday, saw Miami Ad School, and walked in on a whim. Something clicked that I couldn’t unfeel. So I did the uncomfortable thing, took a career break from a stable mid-management career and became a student again. I was second guessing my decision because of my age but as I worked on campaigns and started competing in awards, the second-guessing stopped. I’m not looking back. This career chose me!
