About Me
Everyone has a story.
I am here to help you tell your story through mindful design and tailored marketing. From concept to creation, my intent is to unfold layer by layer, and expose the uniqueness of your business. To use those insights and establish an online presence, and a brand which speaks not just of your product or services, but also speaks in your voice.
Being an Art Director as well as a Front-End Developer, I have unique insight and knowledge of both the creative and developmental aspects of building a brand. When it comes to creating a brand I can help you cut through the endless clutter.
I am here to help you tell your story to the world one pixel at a time.

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.”
Severine Tatangelo - CEO/Owner, Studio PCHPress
Wanderlust – November, 2015
Written in rhyme, The Sweet Dreamer is perfect for kids ages four through seven, helping young readers build fluency by reading along or out loud. 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.

Asbarez – November, 2015
Niki Saccareccia is a yoga instructor and a child therapist. Violet Khodagolian is an art director and web designer. 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.
Asbarez – May, 2015
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 and Ghadimian for their tireless efforts to ensure the smooth transition of our new platform.
To realize our dreams we must wake up.
