My passion for connecting brands with consumers drives me to produce work that stands out.
My passion for connecting brands with consumers drives me to produce work that stands out.
If you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m Aaron Lee – I love politics, country music, playing guitar, college football (GO HOKIES!), and going to the movies… On a more related note, what I really love are brands and connecting with consumers through thoughtfully crafted messaging and creative marketing efforts. I pride myself on my ability to understand pop-culture, try to emerge myself in different point of views, and get into the mindset of consumers to put puzzle pieces together to see the bigger picture.
I’m excited to see what my future holds. But, In the meantime, I’ll continue honing in on my craft, working on myself and growing as a person and gaining new experience/skills – also, watching some college football, attending a country concert (or 2) and hanging at the beach in Emerald Isle over the summer, and maybe hitting the movie theater to catch a flick. Probably a matinee… it’s more my style.

It's not just about what I do, but how I do it.
I’m like a two sided coin – on one side, I’m a creative thinker with a big imagination. On the other side, I’m a methodical professional. When it comes to my work, my goal is to combine both sides to blend unique ideas with solid visual communication to solve business challenges for my clients.
