Ariele Alasko is a designer and woodworker from New York City.[1][2] Her early work consists of furniture and art from re-purposed wood arranged in patterns. She gained popularity on Instagram with a curated feed of cutting boards, handmade spoons, her Brooklyn studio, and her dog.[3][4]

In 2015, Alasko had 370,000 followers on Instagram, and by 2016, it was 418,000 followers.[4][5] She achieved notoriety for her carved wooden spoons and sculptures which were sold at a high price and were copied by other artists.[6][4][7][5]

In 2018, she began making stout, squiggly, table brushes with wood and tampico fibers that sold out immediately on her web store.[3][8]
