call me RoN.

Hi there! My name is Aaron, but you can call me Ron. I’m a creative specialist based in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. I specialize in communication design and visual systems across print and digital mediums, with a versatile background in photography, video and content production. I also enjoy playing basketball, reading comic books on occasion and scavenging through the racks of Value Village for my next piece of vintage clothing.

With over 8 years of industry and freelance experience, I focus on understanding user needs to craft meaningful and strategy driven designs for brand identities, campaigns and other marketing collateral. Because of my efforts, I have built a diverse roster of clients including the Toronto Raptors, George Brown College, Skechers and the Ontario Seventh-Day Adventist Conference.

I continue to pursue these creative avenues to the best of my ability in hopes of inspiring others to do the same.

I am currently working at Catania Worldwide as the Multimedia Design and Marketing Specialist.

Working with Aaron is the absolute best decision you will ever make. Aaron is professional, dedicated, and collaborative in his work with clients. He is able to take complex visions and bring them to life seamlessly. We have witnessed time and time again his relentless drive and disciplined work ethic to meet client needs with calm and ease. The greatest joy in working with Aaron is that he approaches his projects with a high degree of excellence, which is lacking in this industry. Whether it’s small details, or big picture ideas, Aaron is committed to helping his clients and bringing their visions to life. We have used Aaron for multiple different projects and have been blown away every single time by the work he does, particularly with how he’s able to capture and visually demonstrate our vision. There’s no debate, no mistake, and no arguing that Aaron is the best of the best and we highly recommend that you use him for whatever graphic design needs you have.

He’s good.

BABY LEA

Rhume Jay R. & Zola Becbec

We had a photo shoot with Aaron for our daughter and he did an amazing job. We told him the concept of what we wanted and he went above and beyond for us. He was at the venue early to check out the spots for the best shots so we didn't waste time looking where to go. He was patient as our daughter had to take a feeding break, but still he was very professional and understanding. Our photos were amazing and he got them to us quite fast. If you want someone who is thorough and creative with amazing shots, Aaron is your guy!

TO THE TEA

Yvette Faye Arevalo & Ashley Arriola

We are so glad to have chosen Aaron to help us create our new logo. His patience, professionalism and consistent communication with us made it possible for us to have a “look”. From the very beginning to the final product, you walked us through every step of the process. We admire your open-mindedness to our ideas and passion in your work! We couldn’t have picked a better person to design the face of our brand.

FALL ENGAGEMENT

Fall Engagement

Jhona David & Jedd Frias

Aaron is the definition of professionalism. We used him for photography for our engagement photos and he walked us through each step during the process. We wanted to have a nice Autumn photoshoot but we didn’t know where to go. Aaron picked out a beautiful site for us at Erindale Park! During the shoot, we felt a bit awkward and nervous, but Aaron made us feel comfortable, kept us laughing, and took some amazing photos! He was full of creative pose and position ideas! After the day of the shoot, we received the picture files soon after. Aaron made some slight edits to make everything look more stunning. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received! We were so impressed that we already booked him for our wedding date!

ISABILLY 2019

Billy Pangilinan

My wife and I worked closely with Aaron when creating placecards, table numbers, programs, graphics, and posters for our wedding. We had a very specific design in mind and Aaron was able to execute the vision in our heads and bring it into the real world. Aaron created a cohesive design between all the different pieces we needed (posters, placecards, etc.), making our wedding aesthetics look put together. Aaron is a great communicator —whenever we had ideas, he was always willing to listen. He would also give suggestions on how the designs could look even better than what we imagined! He had very quick turn around times when creating rough drafts and final designs, which made us feel at peace knowing that everything will be done well before the big day. Would highly recommend Aaron for anyone's design needs!

Aaron took shots for my wedding, and I love how they turned out! The way the pictures feel intimate as you look at them, makes you feel like you were there the day it happened. My wife and I still look back at them from time to time, and I still feel the emotions stored in these pictures!
