Mission

AERO COLLECTIVE is a multi-faceted design practice that gathers unique creative talents to realize your vision. Our project types—including affordable housing, multifamily housing, cultural and civic facilities, office, restaurants & retail, and masterplanning—are purposefully diverse in order to drive creative curiosity, cross-pollinate valuable experience, and to serve a wider variety of clients.

As proud members of the Inglewood community, we are committed to improving the quality of design and planning in the area. In a city growing as rapidly as Inglewood, change happens quickly. As local designers, we look for well-intentioned development projects and positive opportunities created by investment in our community. Each project is unique in how it supports the local community. Our involvement with civic engagement, volunteer organizations, and local community groups helps us better serve our clients by understanding nuanced priorities in the Inglewood area.

We’re a collective at heart, as our name suggests—we proudly partner with innovative, creative professionals who help us realize your unique vision and project goals. By founding AERO as a collective, we committed early on to identifying the best local design talent and bringing the right mix of people together to elevate projects. AERO does this legwork for our clients so you can enjoy the creativity, process, and results without spending time putting together a great team.
