Creative and Managing Director Spatial Media North America
Aaron is a creative visionary in the digital community engagement industry. Always several moves ahead, Aaron has guided Spatial Media's product trajectory and in his role as a founding director has redefined the way community engagement for infrastructure projects is carried out in Australia.

Now as Creative Director of North America, Aaron continues his strong belief that every citizen around the globe should have the right to engage on a project big or small, and once again it is his vision which has given life to Spatial Engage. His passion for bringing new ways of thinking to start-ups is not new, and Aaron boasts a rich history of successful work with Disney, US driver safety awareness campaigns and in the film and television industry.
