Aaron J. Washington is an award-winning creative designer and manager who loves great stories, comic books, and fettuccine alfredo. His wife and kids are his motivation in everything, aside from his passion for all things nerdy. Aaron can spend all day explaining why the Star Wars prequels are way better than the sequels (thanks to Lucasfilm Animation), why Avatar: The Last Airbender is the greatest cartoon in existence, and why some ad campaigns are better than others, all with the same vim and vigor. That's probably why large companies pay him money for what he does.
There's a proverb that says it's better to "let another man praise you, not your own mouth."
Believing those words to be true, here are some testimonials that speak to Aaron's work ethic as well as his character:

On top of it all, Aaron's chill, upbeat demeanor made him a great collaborator and valued coworker.”
