Hey! I’m Aaron.
Twelve years ago, if you had told me I would be designing digital interfaces, I would have laughed, given my background in print design. However, my move to Canada(2013) sparked my interaction design career, allowing me to challenge my visual and web development skills while leveraging design thinking and research to bring value to customers and businesses.
Over the years, I've become a well-rounded designer, comfortable with the entire process of creating digital products from start to finish. With a multidisciplinary background in graphic design and publishing, I’m currently enhancing UX experiences for software, education, sustainability, eCommerce and travel & health insurance businesses.
Working in both design and web development, I have gained a solid understanding of various tech stacks and their possibilities. This dual expertise allows me to advocate for both designers and developers, finding elegant solutions that are functionally and visually pleasing while staying within technical constraints. As a passionate prototyper, I excel at creating testable prototypes, from simple click-dummies to fully interactive high-fidelity prototypes that closely mimic the final product.
I have excelled in team environments where I can share my experiences and learn from peers, but I am equally comfortable taking initiative when working alone. I am motivated by encouraging colleagues to realize their creative potential and will do everything possible to support them. I seek ambitious teams that foster curiosity, humility, and joy, working together to make a long-term and meaningful impact on people's lives, society, and the world.
My key differentiators
1. I think to be Adaptable is crucial because it is more important than any specific design tool, enabling designers to thrive in evolving environments.
2. Hiring for cultural alignment enhances collaboration and boosts employee retention.
3. I possess a conscious growth mindset to build resilience and adaptability, which is critical for success in the fast-paced design world.
4. Passionate designers that aligns with company values helping to reinforce and elevate the brand from within.

I recommend Aaron for a UX/interaction designer position on teams seeking a collaborative and hardworking designer.

He consistently impressed me with his ability to quickly integrate into the team and culture, fostering strong, collaborative relationships with cross-functional partners. He also demonstrated a clear willingness to learn new things, readily incorporating motion design and AI design patterns into his designs. I'm excited to see where his talent will take him!

Aaron and I collaborated on various occasions within the Service Orchestration product area in Google Cloud. As a PM rotator, I worked closely with Aaron on defining the UX for future features. Aaron throughout the process was meticulous, always thinking about the user experience first, and collaborative across various teams within our organization. Thank you for all your valuable effort Aaron, wish you the best!
Google, SWE Engineer
We worked with Aaron on one of Google Cloud Console UIs. He was leading the UX effort by creating low/high fidelity mockups and prototypes that we used to build a common vision across all teams (Product/UI/Engineering). His work helped us to plan the work and define a technical design for a product. Aaron was always proactive and engaged, his work and ideas had significant impact on the UI/UX of the product. Thank you Aaron!
