Aaron Gleen

Graphic Designer

Unconventionally cool. You have an idea, but you’re not sure how to convey it visually. You have a memo on your desk asking for the project A.S.A.P., what do you do? My name is picked at random from a list of designers, and we chat about the project a few times. At the end of a discussion you reply, “I haven’t thought about it in that way.” The next day in an email you receive 3 PDF mocks, and you feel more then confident to present this in your meeting.
