LOS ANGELES—Don’t let the big brown eyes and babyface fool you—Archer Ali is taking aim, with her sights on the bull’s eye. With a handful of scene credits, she is ready to shoot her shot with a blazing arrow, across the adult industry sky.
The newly discovered starlet is full of exclamation points, enthusiasm, energy and plans for literally everything. After only three months, Ali’s career launch has proved effective so far.
“I am brand-new to studio work. I am fresh, three months in, and I feel like I’ve already done a lot of great work,” Ali told AVN. “I had and still have an OnlyFans but didn’t really feel like that was enough for me and I never really spent a lot of time on it. I felt like it was kind of overwhelming.
“I always knew that I wanted to be in sex work but felt like my calling was something bigger. I went pro not only because of that feeling, but because I’ve always been inspired by Willow Ryder and felt like I looked very similar to her. I reached out to the management team in her bio, which was AMA Modeling, and hoped that I would be picked.
“Was I terrified? Yes, but I knew the worst thing that they could say to me was ‘no.’ Now, only three months in, I have recently signed to Spiegler Girls and been accomplishing some of my goals that I had from when I first started.”
The 26-year old hails from Atlanta but said she has lived in lots of big cities. She started dancing in clubs when she was 18, in college. While some may assume that she’s Latina, she said she’s a mélange of “black, white, Dominican, Puerto Rican and Chinese.”
It sounds like the last few months have been a whirlwind of activity for Ali, but she’s anxious for the experience. “I’ve loved every single thing about adult so far, but I think one of the best things is the fact that I have done so much in the first three months of my career.
“I really love acting. I didn’t know what to expect first going on set, but I really enjoyed the atmosphere of everyone being there to run a whole production—it’s very elaborate and I am here for it,” she said. “I loved meeting my co-stars, directors, the PAs. Getting my hair and makeup done is a very normal thing in my life, so, it just made me feel great that they do that on-set, too.”
So far, she’s appeared for several studios that specialize in newcomer content including Reality Kings, Team Skeet and others, where she is currently being cast in the sweet step-sister, schoolgirl in the sex ed class and submissive step-daughter roles. Ali has also recently taken a ride on the Bang Bros Bus with Dante Diggz and appeared with Jax Slayher for Hussie Pass.
She confessed that, for future shoots, she’s open to everything, and has her eye on a long list of scene partners and studios she would love to work with.
“I’m mainly focused on working with more big-name girls! One-on-ones or threesomes! Definitely my porn crush Willow Ryder, Kira Noir, Princess Emily, Angela White, Olivia Jay, Ameena Green, Scarlett Rosewood and Hailey Rose! There are a lot of great men in the industry I would love to work with like Lil D, Ricky Johnson—I would love to work again with Arin Jones , Kai Jaxson and Damion Dayski,” she said.
“Companies I’ve been interested in working with are Ricky’s Room, Vixen, Elegant Angel, Brazzers, Hustler and Penthouse, for sure. Still learning and definitely open to working with everyone, of all genders, sexualities and companies,” she added.
This January, when Ali attends her first AVN Expo in Las Vegas, she will certainly have an opportunity to meet with her star crushes and companies—when she appears to sign for fans as a new Spiegler Girl.
“It’s my first time and I am so excited!!!! I’ve been dreaming of this experience ever since I first found out about it, which was when I saw Willow get nominated for Hottest Newcomer, two years ago,” she said.
If Ali has any spare time in 2026, her hobbies include gaming; she likes to play Call of Duty, Dead Island and another game called High on Life. “I just like shooting games! I also have a Nintendo Switch and I play a lot of Mario games, Disney Dreamlight and I have a really cool game called Unboxing where you unbox your apartment or different rooms. Gaming is a way for me to relax and think about the upcoming goals I want to achieve.” She can be found on Twitch and Discord, though she said hasn’t had much time to build followings there.
A fun fact about Ali—she gets her performing name from another favorite hobby, archery. “I swear that I’m Katniss Everdeen with a bow and arrow,” she joked.
She also loves to travel and experience new food and cultures. Plus, she’s thinking about returning to school, at some point, to pursue a “dual-degree in surgical tech and central sterilization, which will take me four years to finish.”
But until then, she’s on her industry trajectory and letting it fly with a lot to look forward to, as she finds her target.
“I plan on spending the holidays with my family,” Ali said, “and with Samantha Phillips, who is my model house mom and truly has become one of my biggest supporters in the industry.
“I'm definitely looking forward to doing a Christmas shoot, to be able to give my fans more of me... I hope to give the New Year a kick ass start!”
