Hello! My name is Aaron.

Indiana Department of Education
To support the Indiana Department of Education’s mental health campaign called Project Aware, our team at THE PLAID AGENCY created an animated video that highlights how students and faculty can “change the frequency” about mental health at three different grade levels—Elementary School, Middle School, and High School. My roles and responsibilities included script and story development, creative direction, combining stock and hand-drawn illustrations, character animation, and video editing.

A Thirst 4 Art
I have been practicing fine art for over 10 years. My passion for art eventually propelled me into instructing a “Bob Ross style” wine and canvas with a twist, called “A Thirst 4 Art”. In addition to this, I take commissions (a lot of pet commissions), but most importantly I get to express myself in a medium I hold dear to my heart that continues to challenge me.
