A lover of healing technologies; a joyseeker, a shadow worker. Aaron draws inspiration from video games, music, archives, children’s media, futurisms, and community. He's on a quest to increase longevity, liberation, and thriving for us, as defined by us. He spends a lot of time wondering how we can save our own lives – at scale.
