Ark is a variety streamer/VTuber, a video editor, a collective nerdy bean, and an unapologetic lover of dumplings, lofi, and gnomes—because why not?  She grew up in a small town in Alaska and made her big move to Florida during her teen years.  Shortly before COVID hit in 2020, she found a love for playing her first true RPG; Assassin's Creed Odyssey.  This encouraged her to begin streaming in an effort to meet more gamers and like-communities.  Joined by her loving fiancée, Devil, she kicked things off on Twitch, creating her first community, "The Arkstromo."  That community, full of heart and humor, eventually joined forces with another, "The PUG Empire."

Over time, something truly special happened — the community blossomed into what it is today: The Gnome Depot.

The Gnome Depot is more than just a place for streamers and gamers to gather.  It’s a cozy corner of the internet where people of all kinds can come to hang out, meet new friends, and feel a genuine sense of belonging.  Ark works hard to create a space that’s warm, welcoming, and just a little bit quirky, encouraging people to relax, be themselves, and enjoy some truly unique [and often hilariously strange] conversations.  Her streams are all about those chill, good vibes.

At the heart of it all, Ark’s mission is simple: to offer a place where people can pause, breathe, and take a moment for themselves.  Whether you pop in for a laugh or stay for the chats and food videos or the supremely unpredictably moments on stream, Ark hopes that everyone leaves with a smile, feeling just a bit lighter than they did before.
