Aaron Maurer

Aaron specializes in brand identity, illustration and layout and has worked across several areas of the field including marketing, events, packaging, retail, publishing and the non-profit sector. After graduating from the University of Cincinnati in 2006, he spent two years working in Geneva, Switzerland, as a designer for a human rights advocacy NGO. A passion for using his skills to serve others informs his life and work, and he enjoys projects that give back to society. Aaron is an active participant in Chicago’s design community, volunteering with the AIGA Chicago and a member of Spudnik Press printmaking cooperative, among other ventures. An avid fan of music and film, he can often be found at indie rock shows, summer festivals or movie theatres around town. He also enjoys running (including the occasional marathon in support of Team World Vision), reading and pub trivia in his spare time.

Aaron is always interested in meeting and working with new people and would be happy to hear from you. If you have an appropriate freelance opportunity, please don't hesitate to reach out.
