We’ll hop on a virtual call over coffee or kombucha and see if we’re a good fit. I’ll ask about who you are, your business goals, pain points, and how you determine success. If we’re a good fit, fantastic! We’ll get to work.
No matter what level of engagement you choose, I’ll host a facilitated brand discovery session so we can align your brand with your ideal customers. The valuable insights that emerge help us strategize and design for them, making it easier for them to buy from you. (That’s what we want!)*
We take our insights from the brand discovery session to create a recipe for how to proceed, resulting in your Brand Roadmap. This collaborative document will include positioning, brand attributes, customer profiles, and design deliverables that connect best with your ideal customers.*
With the Brand Roadmap as our guide, we’ll design your deliverables. We’ll kick off each project with a creative brief and timeline. Ready to raise a glass? Let’s go!

I received my BFA from Columbia College Chicago in Advertising Art Direction and studied Illustration at Northern Illinois University. I was also a student in the Summer Program for Fine Arts at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Currently serving as an AIGA design leader in Chicago, I am also Chairperson for the Environmental Enhancement Commission in Tinley Park, where my mission is to maintain and ensure a healthful environment for all citizens, as well as for future generations.
When I’m not designing brands for my clients, you can find me practicing vinyasa yoga with my toddler and two dogs nearby, playing tennis, and advocating for animals, BIPOC, AAPI and female founders.
A vision for a better future one design tincture at a time.

I have worked with Aireen for over 10 years within multiple companies, and endless projects. Her creativity and attention to details are exceptional. Her ability to create a design based on an idea given, is extremely efficient and seamless. Her attitude and compassion for her client’s vision is the best in the business. I highly recommend Aireen’s design services to any company or brand!

I loved working with Aireen. She always approaches projects with a positive attitude and delivers work on time. Aireen’s ability to receive feedback and incorporate changes is one of her greatest strengths. She delivers work based on briefs and goes above and beyond with additional options. I’ve worked with Aireen on two very different brands and her ability to adapt and execute projects based on the needs of the brand is exceptional.

I was incredibly impressed with her organization and time management skills. I’ve never seen anyone keep an all-day activity on track like she did! So high-five there! She did an incredible job [on our brand strategy session]. Collecting and organizing our thoughts was no easy feat and she managed to do it seamlessly while also keeping our dialog focused on task. I really don’t know how she managed to do that. We are lucky to have her in our world!

Aireen has worked with me the most on web and print design, and I’ve always been very impressed with the work that she’s delivered. Her designs flow well and have always captured the brand identity very, very well. She’s designed logos for me, worked with me on brand books, and helped define the direction that my projects should take, and I’ve always been very happy with her recommendations. She is very punctual with her work and always delivers a quality final product.

Aireen was incredible to work with and you must hire her for your next project. I was on a tight deadline that had a lot of moving parts and Aireen was professional, responsive, patient, flexible and so nice to work with. This includes a two-hour time difference! I will definitely look to her for my next project because I have the confidence that she’ll get it done on time and within budget.

Aireen did a fantastic job taking me through my brand road map and offering clarity on who my ideal client is. Going through this process with Aireen was extremely valuable because it was a process that I put off for far too long. Aireen was thorough throughout the process, wanting to fully understand my position and views before moving forward with every step. All in all, the process was wonderful to go through and I am so excited to implement Aireen’s recommendations into my business and marketing plans.

Working with Aireen for over 10 years has not only been invaluable to my business, it’s been fun as well. The spa industry is very competitive and she focused on what made us unique and developed a plan that gave us the clear and direct voice we were seeking for our brand. Aireen kept us focused throughout all our projects, which were numerous. In a world filled with everyone making promises to help you succeed and grow your business, I will say without hesitation, Aireen means it and cares about you and your business.

I started working with Aireen nearly 10 years ago, and can’t imagine not having her as our creative partner. Brim Branding has not only created stunning design and produced flawless executions, they have become a strategic partner for our business. Brim is so much more than “good design”, it is good strategy, good thinking, good process and excellent results. I sing Aireen & Brim’s praises to anyone who will listen!

When we reached out to Aireen I expected to work with a talented designer that would provide visually compelling imagery for our corporate event. What we got was so much more. Starting with an in-depth strategy session, she challenged our to team to really think about our audience, goals, and the purpose of our event. Not only did the output of this session come through in her designs, it helped us to ultimately plan and execute a better event. Aireen was incredible to work with every step of the way and I look forward to working with her in the future.
