first, here’s me

Background

I’m a current senior at the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism and Communication with a major in Advertising and pursuing a minor in Business Administration.

While I was technically born in California, Portland is where I’ve spent just about all of my life. I’ve been on every waterfall hike, gone to Screendoor for brunch whenever we could get a seat, and watched the Swifts at Chapman Elementary School since I was old enough to speak.

My name is Asher Clark. (he/him/his)

My creative process usually starts with noticing something small or kind of weird, then pulling on that thread until it becomes a conceptual idea that I can begin to work off of. Eventually, after thinking long enough, ideas start to trickle in like a flock of swifts into their chimney.

I like looking for simple connections that most people overlook and pushing them just barely far enough that they become interesting. A lot of my concepts come from asking, usually my roommates, really dumb “what if” questions, and seeing where they go.
