ABOUT ME

I’ve experienced a wide breadth of product design & visual communication practices & I'm now specialized in designing user interfaces at Chalk.

An aptitude for verbal fluency & visual design combine with an enthusiasm for problem solving to drive my creativity. I’m a strong verbal & visual communicator with a mind for meticulous organization & a keen eye for detail.

I also have a strong analytical side inclined toward logic, systems, & optimization. An early interest in technology & an education in development allow me to understand how designs are implemented & how to work with developers.

"Aron is one of the most focused and creative students I have ever worked with. He’s an ambitious problem-solver with a great aesthetic sense & an eye for detail. It’s rare to find someone with the ability to simultaneously create a thoughtful user experience while managing technical constraints. There’s no doubt in my mind that Aaron has a bright future ahead."

"Aron has proven to be an undeniable asset to our team, time and time again. Continually learning and growing on the fly is a skill in and of itself. Whether we are working on an animation or user interface design, Aron has always made it his priority to be well educated in the space he is venturing into. Beyond his work, Aron has been more committed than most, not only to his family, but his wellbeing. Finding new and innovative ways to take care of himself and others around him has been a pleasure to see. I believe that Aron is an artist at heart and always tries his best to get excited about what he is working on, allowing him to feel comfortable being invested in that task. It is a pleasure working with Aron and I am sure that whoever is lucky enough to also have this opportunity will say the same."

"Aron has played a pivotal role in the curation of my start-up business’ website and social media presence. I would have faced a ton of pitfalls & lost immeasurable time & money attempting to do that myself. His questioning in the beginning was to the point; his listening and discernment of that information was on point & done with real interest; & his vision based upon those generally aligned with my vision for how I want the business and information disseminated on those platforms. It seems his working knowledge of creating those mediums is fantastic for someone just graduating college & not having years of experience. I’m very thankful he has worked with me & would recommend him to anyone else with similar needs."

Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist

"We brought Aron in to help us improve the accessibility of our website. Aron did a great job with this and we continued to give him additional duties, that included designing some of our digital signs used on campus. Before graduating Aron led the development of a new sign in our athletics Hall of Fame which has received a lot of praise."
