Introduction

Nice to meet you! 😊 I'm Aaron, a third year design student @ SJSU. To save you some time, I'll describe myself in only four adjectives.

Visually Organized

At my core I am logical and systems-oriented. My interest in design systems is derived from this fact because I love to keep things consistent and scalable.

Thoughtful

I value the opinions of teammates and users. My favorite part of the design process is hearing feedback from teammates and users.

Growth Oriented

I am always taking initiative and am retrospective of my experiences. Whether it be through student leadership or trying new things, I'm always growing.

Intentional

My design decisions are always driven by purpose. Either from experience or evidence, I am always able to explain my rationale.

Hobbies

In my free time, I enjoy cuddling with my cat, lifting weights, being in nature, wrestIing with campus squirrels, rating energy drinks, and… akjhsdkj— hey! Sorry, my cat Kai stepped on my keyboard!
