Designer. Strategist. Visionary.
Always looking at the larger system, diagnosing the real problem, and turning insight into direction — especially when playing Ultimate Werewolf.
ABOUT ME
I’m Aaron, an interdisciplinary product designer passionate about translating between business goals and user needs. I design with context and clarity, using data to deliver aesthetic product solutions that drive real business impact.
Over the past two years, I’ve worked across startups, global agencies, and large product teams, which has given me a wide view of how products can be shaped and iterated across different environments as well as a range of experiences communicating alongside different stakeholders.
I’m especially drawn to work that blends design with broader product thinking — understanding constraints, aligning with partners, and helping teams move toward the most impactful direction.
My background in Human–Computer Interaction at the University of Michigan shapes a lot of the way I work, grounding my approach in behavioral psychology, systems thinking, and user-centered decision-making. I also supported courses in automotive UX and human psychology during my time there, which deepened my interest in how people navigate complex experiences.
Outside of work, I’m usually playing strategy board games, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, or out on the volleyball court with friends!
