Ariel Norling

Designer at Murmur

Ariel Norling’s workspace

Ariel Norling is currently a designer at Murmur. She also writes a weekly newsletter called I Know a Spot where she highlights active houses for sale that she finds inspiring. And just in case she wasn’t busy enough, she’s also writing a book about tech culture and burnout.

Her workspace is sort of an “everything space” where she works on her book and newsletter, works out, and also paints.
