About Aaron Green

Currently working with Disney, Warner Bros, Universal Studios, Pokémon, Netflix, Paramount, Minecraft, Microsoft, Crunchyroll, Sega, Toei Animation, Toho Animation, Ubisoft and Hasbro in award-winning licensed merchandise design across Australia and New Zealand. As a highly skilled and passionate visual storyteller, I thrive at the intersection of art and technology. With over 27 years of experience in digital graphic design, specialising in pop-culture merchandise, I bring a unique blend of creativity, technical expertise, and industry knowledge to every project. My professional journey is backed by a robust educational foundation, including a Bachelor’s Degree in Interactive Entertainment, Animation, and Video Games Development, and multiple Certificate IV qualifications in various technical fields. I am one of only two Senior Merchandise Designers in ANZ to produce for so many IPs consistently each year across 380 stores. I lead innovative design projects that resonate with pop culture enthusiasts in a quickly developing market. My role allows me to combine my deep love for art and visual storytelling with an extensive collection of skills to create products that delight customers and drive sales. In 2007, Aaron further his skills development, enrolling in a Bachelor of Interactive Entertainment, focusing on Animation and Video Games Production at QANTM/SAE, Brisbane, Australia. This broadened Aaron's skill range to include traditional illustration, screenplay writing, film editing and compositing, 2D and 3D animation, and games design and development. Aaron co-produced with a team of seven animators, technical artists, and programmers to develop a successful video game that won Best Unsigned Independent Game of the Year at Game-Connect Asia-Pacific. This also lead to two additional projects with Star City Media and Takoushi ArKade Systems, before Aaron took on a Producer role with Halfbrick Studios. There he co-produced Raskulls for Microsoft's Xbox LIVE Arcade digital download channel, and multi-award winning mobile game, Fruit Ninja. In summary, Aaron has worked in over two dozen film, television, concept and promotional projects, and video game productions. Aaron's goal is to develop as a storytelling visionary, artist, and identity from within the Australian entertainment industry.
