Who am I?

My name is Aaron, originally from the Philippines but have been calling Germany home since 2015. Design has always been the center of my life, whether professionally or personally. I've found myself in different parts of the world, always involved in creative spaces.

Influences

My design approach is deeply influenced by the minimalist and functional aesthetics of the Bauhaus, combined with the precision and elegance found in Japanese art and architecture.

Regularly visiting museums allows me to draw direct and indirect inspiration from both historical and contemporary works, enriching my creative process. Additionally, I make a point to stay updated on evolving design standards, ensuring that my work is both modern and relevant. This blend of influences and my ability to quickly adapt to new trends and industry standards.

Philosophy

I believe in the Japanese concept of Kaizen 改善 both in my personal and professional life — constant improvement through small, meaningful steps. As a designer who values both creativity while aligning business goals, I always strive to blend innovation with strategy. By continuously refining work for clients and employers, I ensure that my designs not only inspire but also drive results - proven with my years of experience in the field.
