Real World Experience
I have had the pleasure of working with some of the world's top retailers and highly regarded brands. While I may not be a household name, you very well could have seen my work in a store, on television, in print and at your local boutique. My art and designs have been featured around the world and with that my reputation is well regarded in the realms of art, product design, licensing and visual display.

Why Cannabis?
My creative journey started 35 years ago and has never been boring. It takes me new places all the time. I pride myself on being challenged by new things and cannabis seems to present a new realm of possibilities. I can see a lot of challenges to overcome for brands, in visuals and presentations as the growth invites big and powerful players onto the field. If you had a chance to be involved in the birth of the automobile, computer or be there when brands like Coca Cola, Levi's, Versace or Marvel came to be, wouldn't you jump at the chance? Well to me that's where Cannabis is. It is, as an industry, experiencing a birth, a birth of something that will spread worldwide and grow into those type of brands. And I find that exciting and am up to playing my part behind the scenes.

What can you do?
I have 35 years of experience being in a design build business. I wish I could share the tens of thousands of projects I've created, of which many were just a client's dream. Here in the studio we have a wood shop, laser cutters, printing equipment, 3d printers, a paint shop and a bit of unusual equipment for unique applications including visual display, holiday decor and events. Outside the studio I regularly work with print houses, screen printers, case and fixture manufacturers. Here's a list of things we regularly do:

Outside the studio I regularly work with print houses, screen printers, case and fixture manufacturers. Here's a list of things we regularly do:
- design interior spaces - retail, boutiques, service industry and even residential
- design build props, decorations, fixtures, exhibit type items, wall art, decor and unique signage
- build, sculpt, woodwork, cast, sew, 3d print, laser cut, create art, displays and installation as well as design fabric, textiles and printed mediums.
- project manage artful installations, store interior build outs, events and obscure wild ideas.
- work with other artisans, professionals, contractors, designers and suppliers to provide products, product development, licensing arrangements and more.
- consult about design, branding, visual display, merchandising, promotions and events.
Where do we start?
Let's just have a conversation, no obligation. Tell me about your brand and what you dream it to be or what it needs. Rests assured I have many clients from successful industries just come to me to say "Something is missing and I'm not sure what." Often I'm asked to work on solutions to vaguely defined problems for example:

Rests assured I have many clients from successful industries just come to me to say "Something is missing and I'm not sure what." Often I'm asked to work on solutions to vaguely defined problems for example:
- Not knowing how to increase sales using visual assets like merchandising, brand ID, props, fixturing and interior design.
- Customers have a logo yet do not know how and what to do with it. Not knowing what's important for their own brand or business image.
- They have a dream of being like "xyz" company. Or dream to be similar to their amazing spaces or unique presentation but have no idea how to turn that into action.
- Clients have grown beyond being able to handle everything themselves and need help. But they're not ready to hire someone in house and need a creative hand. We offer hourly, daily, weekly, month and short term projects as well as entertain time period contract employment.
In my 50 years of being an active visual merchandising consultant I have met many people who are good at their jobs. Aaron Christensen is truly great at his! He’s highly diversified working from concept to design, fabrication, construction and installation. While many visual merchandisers purchase props, Aaron makes them. That makes them perfect for his clients image and brand.
Aaron is expert in creating entire environments that are ideal for retailers, restaurants, and other businesses that want to have immersive experiences for their customers. I believe Aaron is one the most talented people working in this field both nationally and Internationally. - Linda Cahan,-world renowned branding consultant and instructor to the industry.
