Call me Aeri!

Pronounced AIR-ee/Airy
김애리 / 金艾丽 / Based in Portland, Oregon

I’m a branding and graphic designer with a background in creative operations and program management. My work focuses on building clear visual systems and thoughtful brand experiences — from early concept through execution.

I’ve led and contributed to brand, web, and storytelling projects across small businesses, community organizations, and large cross-functional teams, including work at Nike supporting cultural initiatives and internal storytelling. I care deeply about clarity, craft, and collaboration, and I’m especially drawn to projects rooted in culture, food, and community.

Whether I’m refining an existing brand or building something new, I bring a design-minded, execution-driven approach — balancing strategy, aesthetics, and real-world constraints to help ideas show up clearly and consistently.

Based in Portland, Oregon.
