"I worked with Aaron over the course of 8 years at imc2. I saw his creative talent and dedication countless times over those years. His ability to create beautiful, smart, polished work always amazed me. I also watched him grow into a team leader and decision maker. I trusted Aaron to deliver and go above and beyond...even on a few tough accounts. He is also a good listener and took creative direction well and was open to pushing solutions and ideas further. If you ever get the chance to work with Aaron, know you have the the nicest, most talented guy on your project/team."
"Aaron is a brilliant designer. He has an eye for detail, balance, and beauty. He asks good questions about a brief, seeking to understand the strategy and the insight as the basis for the creative assignment. His conceptual work is inspired - I always appreciate the story he tells about why his designs look the way they do. His production work is accurate and fast. I feel better knowing that Aaron is the designer assigned to my client work, because I know the result will be on-time, on-strategy, and simply great work."
"From my first week working with Aaron, he was showing me how to use Photoshop in ways I'd never seen before! He's extremely knowledgeable about his craft, a patient teacher and always thorough, but perhaps the most defining trait about Aaron and his work is his attention to detail. Pixel-perfect, incredibly organized, systematic and efficient, his work is the standard and example for organization that I use in my own projects. He helped author the best-practices handbook for designers used company-wide at imc2, and is a positive influence on the work of any designer he is teamed with."
"Aaron is the type of colleague you wish you could clone. He takes great pride in his work, and in doing it right the first time. When working with others, Aaron reviews his team members' contributions with strong attention to detail and best user experience. He offers the type of feedback that turns good work into great work. Aaron is someone I trust and want on my project team."
"Aaron was my mentor during my internship at MEplusYOU from January-April 2013.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Aaron. He is an incredible designer with an unbeatable eye for details. His design work is even more impressive in that he supports it with flawless technical execution every time, giving him a reputation around the office as the person to go to when something needs to be turned around quickly; he consistently nails any project on his first try, and people place an enormous amount of trust in him.
His meticulous and thoughtful approach to design and his kind and patient disposition make him a truly outstanding teacher. He truly went above and beyond for me during my internship, helping me in every way he could possibly think of, and never once speaking to me with an ounce of condescension or annoyance despite my endless string of questions. He gave me wonderful, consistent feedback without prompting, was always looking out for me and trying to help me grow, and taught me more in a few months than I learned during my entire school career.
I recommend Aaron from the bottom of my heart as a designer, a teacher, and an all around exceptional human being."
"As one of the managers on our RE:Invest Internship team, Aaron embraced the idea of an Investee from the very beginning. We call our interns Investees because we believe they are an investment more so of time, energy and knowledge rather than just money. Aaron exemplifies this commitment by getting to know the individual he is managing on a personal level first, understanding the way they work and then setting goals with specific measurements. After scoping out the time he will manage them he checks in regularly to ensure they have the support needed while also giving consistent thorough evaluations. What I really have appreciate about managing Aaron in this program is that he offers both written and verbal evaluations. Every Investee he has managed has been surprised at how much they learned and grew under his management style. He truly is a servant leader and cares about the individual and not just getting the job done. Every single one of Investees he has worked with has been offered a job following their time in the program. His dedication to the program, individual and craft makes him an ideal candidate to manage at any level. Please feel free to reach out with any specific information you may needed regarding our work together."
