to zero-knowledge proofs.

Portrait of Aaron Pettijohn

I’m a creative director with a decade-plus in brand and video. I pair deep design craft with a practical command of AI tools, knowing when to use each, and why great work earns attention.

I’ve led teams, built studios, filmed baby hippos, and traveled globally to make complex technology feel human. Most mornings, I surf Tourmaline.

If the surf is poor or better, I’ll return your message as soon as possible.
