SUMMARY

Aerial Ardour, LLC was founded by Aireen Arellano. Some of Aireen’s favorite things include design, deadlines and very happy clients. Aireen has six years of professional experience in art direction, print, web design, rich media, packaging, illustration and social media branding.

She dove into the art world headfirst by studying Fine Arts at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago before attending Northern Illinois University to study Illustration. It was there where Aireen found her true talent in creative branding. She transferred to Columbia College Chicago and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Advertising Art Direction.

Aireen creates smart, visual branding and just plain cool design. She is a quick, personable and dependable gal with a compulsion for detail. All these attributes are exemplified through her company.

Partial client list: VeeV Açaí Spirit, MillerCoors, Gatorade, Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company and P.F. Chang’s. In a world where the message can overpower the integrity of design, Aireen fights for the freedom and love of it.
