Who’s Asher? About Asher Clark
staying curious
I’m Asher, a Portland-raised creative strategist and designer with a degree in Advertising from the University of Oregon and a minor in Business Administration. I love studying human behavior: what catches someone’s eye, why an idea sticks, and the small choices people make without realizing it. That curiosity shapes the way I approach research, strategy, and design.
Outside of work, I play frisbee, make art, and take photos. I like having a reason to get outside, whether I’m freeskating along the waterfront or heading out to find a waterfall. Making things with my hands and paying attention to people give me fresh ways to see the world, and often lead me back to a new idea.
I’m interested in the moment someone changes their mind, laughs at something unexpected, or feels seen by an idea. I like asking what’s behind that reaction and finding a way to turn it into work people actually want to spend time with.
Portland's always had a way of keeping me curious. Long hikes, a pickup frisbee game, a photo I almost didn’t take: any of them can send me home with a new question. I try to bring that same habit of looking closer, digging deeper, to every project I make.
Briefs, questions, strange ideas, and waterfall recommendations are absolutely welcome.
