Aimo Weichelt
Associate Creative Director
The Refinery Creative

LOS ANGELES, USA // Over a decade ago, and only two years after moving to the United States from Germany, Aimo started his career in the entertainment industry at Ignition as a junior Art Director. He really found his place two years later at the Refinery Creative. For 10 years, he worked as an Art Director creating award winning pieces before becoming an Associate Creative Director in 2019. Aimo started leading his teams to have successful and impressive theatrical and broadcast/streaming print campaigns for a variety of clients. As a member of the internal leadership team, he has become a vital part in the process to streamline business operations and improve the effectiveness of the Refinery’s approach and workflow.

Recently, Aimo became an Instructor for the Design Communication Arts Program at UCLA Extension. He aims to guide and assist the new generation of design creatives on their paths.

When not riding his motorcycle through LA’s canyons or looking for street art, Aimo might be found meditating in his backyard or reading a Stephen King book in a hammock somewhere.
