Hi, I'm Aaron! I'm a creative and adaptable graphic designer with a background in branding, digital content, and UI/UX. I excel at transforming ideas into memorable visual experiences using tools like Figma, Illustrator, and Framer. I also bring a strong foundation in marketing and storytelling, plus experience teaching, leading teams, and engaging customers. I enjoy collaborating across disciplines to deliver visuals and experiences that resonate with audiences and support business goals. When I’m not designing, I’m video editing, cooking up something tasty, or out for a run.
