Introduction

Arielle Scott (born 1989), known professionally as Ari Fitz, is a model, vlogger, and film producer. She is best known for her YouTube channel Tomboyish, in which she explores topics related to being an androgynous person who presents as both masculine and feminine.

Early life and career

Fitz was born in Vallejo, California. She attended University of California, Berkeley and received a degree in business, and began to model as an undergraduate. She has modeled for companies such as UGG and Kenzo, and appeared on a cover for Nylon.

Fitz created her YouTube channel when she was 23, and soon after appeared as a cast member on Real World: Ex-Plosion, at the time going by the name Arielle Scott. In 2016, Fitz moved to Los Angeles to pursue a full-time career in vlogging. Soon after arriving she turned down a modeling contract at a well-known agency because they sought to control her YouTube content. Fitz began to vlog daily on her YouTube channel Tomboyish. The majority of the content is related to life as an androgynous person who sometimes presents as masculine, and sometimes as feminine, as well as gender and sexuality. Fitz also produces short films that she posts to her channel, such as Bubbles, a scripted web series, and My Mama Wears Timbs, a short documentary about a masculine of center pregnant woman.

Fitz identifies as queer and is polyamorous. In September 2019, she stated that she is nonbinary and that feminine and masculine pronouns are fine to use in reference to her.
