What Clients Say About Me
“We first began working with Violet back in 2015. We were impressed with her ability to grasp and produce for us a proposal that was intelligible, yet elaborate in graphic representation and met our vision for this project with tight deadlines. Working with Violet was a pleasure. Throughout the entire process it was apparent that she was a passionate artist who loved her craft as she provided us with the flexibility to create numerous modifications that introduced special details to our proposal. Since then we have worked with Violet on several other projects. Violet is truly a passionate graphic artist, a responsive-honest professional, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for design/graphic services.”
Francois Nion, Creative Director Outfront/JC Decaux“She did my first website 10 years ago and has been my creative go-to person ever since. She has been involved in all my branding needs, including online advertising, email marketing and both our e-commerce and event websites. Besides her creative powers, she is very knowledgable in her field and is resourceful in finding new ways. With an incredible commitment to each project as well as her perferctionism, she is simply the best fit for our company needs. I can’t say enough good things about her!”
David Z - Owner, David Z Events & My DTLA Florist“Violet simply listens to you, asks a few questions, pauses, then says ‘I got it’. This is how it starts. You want to work with someone who anticipates your needs and your “non materialized” vision, because before you know it, you realize the work is half way done.”

Asbarez Introduces New Digital Platform
The website was produced by Violet Khodagolian of DesigninLA and her collaborator Vachik Ghadimian. Aside from addressing the functionality of the website and the specific needs of Asbarez, these two young and energetic professionals had the arduous task of ensuring that our archives were properly migrated onto the new site, a task which proved to be much more tedious and time-consuming than initially expected. We would like to thank Khodagolian…
Stay Curious and Creative
The Sweet Dreamer is a beautifully illustrated, fantastically imagined children’s picture book. It shares a powerful message about living our dreams, even as an adult. Saccareccia and her co-creator and illustrator Violet Khodagolian have tested the draft on a crowd ranging in age up to 86, however, and their feedback has been the same: This story is a beautiful way of reminding us to keep our sense of wonder alive.
‘The Sweet Dreamer’: A Children’s Book for Adults Too
Violet Khodagolian is an art director and web designer. Niki Saccareccia is a yoga instructor and a child therapist. Together, they have created The Sweet Dreamer, a “children’s book good for adults,” which they hope to bring to life with the help of a newly-launched Kickstarter campaign.
“Everything else we can be taught how to do, but nobody can teach you how to dream,” Khodagolian says.
To realize our dreams we must wake up.
