Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Ariana Hayes. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Ariana thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?

The first time I knew I wanted to purse into being a fashion model and being creative in anything I do, was when I was 12-16 years old. I love taking pictures, dressing up and being creative with the outfits and setting up theme for photo shoots and runways. I just wished I would of started sooner around that time. Now, I have gained a lot of knowledge in the industry and still maintaining more experience from it. But God knows when and what’s best for us all. So I’m glad I started my dreams right on time rather than too late or never.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

Hi, my name is Ariana Hayes and I am a fashion model plus creative director. I have been modeling since I was 14 years old from runways, photo shoots, prints, commercials and so forth. I am currently an independent model I am not signed to any agency yet, but I’m praying I will soon. I know Jesus has me so I’ll be waiting patiently for the rest of my blessings to come. Along with my upcoming acting career. I’m 27 years of age and I am from Greenville, SC. More so of Simpsonville area but 864 overall. I consider Dickinson, Texas as home as well.

I have been a creative person all my life just from outfits that I pick out and or certain atmospheres I’m around, helping others with their style of choice.
When it comes to myself, I am a very particular young woman of everything except for food really. I could literally eat anything. But once it comes down to my style and ideas of photo shoots or walking down a runway, all fun and games are out the window. Like it’s time to boss up and be on beast mode.

I am highly proud of being a great mother to my one and only daughter I have. Most days aren’t easy but it’s well worth it. She is the biggest blessing I have in my life. As to where I am now in life, rather than where I was, I am the better version of myself and it’s only getting better by the day, months, and years.
So I would like for my audience to know I did not and I am not giving up on my dreams.

There’s a lash brand and clothing company that will be releasing soon from me, so stay tuned on my journey.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

There is a goal I am accomplishing on… I want the entire world or at least half of the world to know who I am and what I do. Learn from me as well, the good and bad experiences of what I had to go through.

Are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?

I wish I would of known how many magnificent and talented photographers in Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia there were. Like the people I know now I wish I could have known in the past. Because their work is breath taking. I would highly recommend all of them, no doubt.
