A bit about me

I’m Aaron Garrett a User Experience Designer based in Cincinnati, Ohio. I create human centered 🧠 design experiences 🎨. I’m a lifelong learner, tinkerer, and technologist who loves finding creative solutions to complex problems.  

I’m originally from a farming community 🚜 🌽 west of Dayton, Ohio where I learned a strong 💪 work ethic and how important it is to be willing to pivot when challenges arise.

Outside of my professional passions, I enjoy spending time with family, working with local youth and tinkering in the garage. I will openly admit that I’m man who still plays with cars 🏎️💨 and my middle name likely should be changed to DIY.  As someone who has been involved in performing 🎭 as well as visual arts, I volunteer for local show choir helping with technical needs as well as set construction 👷.

I’ve worked for some amazing companies
