Hello, I'm Aaron

I lead design teams. I've built products and experiences with amazing people at places like TED Talks, ESPN, Endeavor and some bold startups.

A brief history

2023 – Today

Consulting and mentoring.

These days I lead design for a startup building the next generation of hospitality technology while mentoring aspiring product designers and digital artists.

2022 – 2023

I led design for Endeavor/IMG event technology.

As VP of Design, I guided a distributed team of designers and researchers building platform services and products for events like London’s Hyde Park Winter Wonderland and the 2024 Paris Olympics. In late 2023 I decided to leave a wonderful and thoughtful team to pursue personal and professional projects.

2020 — 2022

I helped founders learn from the world's best entrepreneurs.

As a founding member of Wait What Inc's technology team, we launched an app and course platform for the award-winning business podcast Masters of Scale.

2011 — 2020

I designed video experiences at TED.

The longest and most rewarding period in my career, I directed design for TED's video viewing experiences on web platforms reaching millions of people in over 100 languages worldwide. I also led several technical design projects for the live stage at TED's flagship conference in Vancouver and TEDGlobal in Edinburgh.

I directed design for TED's video experiences on web platforms. I also led several other projects and initiatives involving the TED conference Vancouver and TEDGlobal in Edinburgh.

2007 — 2011

I connected a community of fans.

Co-founded by an ESPN executive (now President and CTO of Disney Entertainment), Fanzter was a bold startup with ideas ahead of its time. Our small company of 5 created an app enabling fan communities to form around products (and celebrities) they love by tagging them in any image on the Internet.

2003 — 2007

I built live sports apps at ESPN.

My team at ESPN pioneered the first ever live-updating scoreboards (a big deal at the time). I was later promoted to direct design for more live game apps and special editorial projects in partnership with SportsCenter.

2000 — 2004

Building a foundation

I gained essential experience about design, people and business at two of Colorado's best agencies while working with a wide range of clients in outdoor sports, finance, tech, academics and government research. Fun times!
