Ariel Tidhar was born and raised in Chicago in an American-Israeli family. She grew up being sent to school with a packed lunch of pita & hummus with tiny Israeli pickled eggplant on the side. Born in a lineage of fashion creatives, it was no surprise that Ariel went on to study fashion design after high school. Ariel graduated in May 2016 from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY with a Bachelors of Fine Art in Fashion Design. In recent years, Ariel’s work has expanded to include modern Judaica pieces, home décor, and accessories.
