Aarron Walter

I am the author of Designing for Emotion and the lead user experience designer for The Rocket Science Group – makers of MailChimp.

I’ve been building websites professionally since 1999, and I’ve taught interactive design courses at colleges including Temple University, The University of Georgia, and The Art Institute of Atlanta – one of the few colleges teaching web standards since 2002. I also enjoy sharing my ideas about education, findability, and design at conferences and organizations around the globe.

In 2007 I joined the The Web Standards Project, and for three years lead the development of the InterACT curriculum project – an open curriculum designed to bridge the gap between the Web industry and education.

But all work and no play makes Aarron a dull boy. I am a husband to the talented Jamie Voivedich of Soup Studios, a music fan, a lover of old houses, a good friend to The Ninja, an ice cream chomper, a pumpkin carver, a coffee snob, and a firm believer that you know what time it is.
