Aaron Chon
Hi, my name's Aaron. I am a storyboard artist, character animator, and voice actor.
I have graduated from the ArtCenter College of Design on Spring 2023, where I majored in animation.
​
Passionate about story-telling through writing or visualizing, I specialize in 2D character animation, digital key illustration, and storyboarding. I bring visually stylized designs with eye-popping character animations, effects to capture the heightened animated reality, and impactful stories with themes that would appeal to a large demographic by blending drama, humor, and emotion. The stories I write can either be episodic or overarching with a good amount of character development and timeline continuity, giving off a sense of progression. My portfolio includes works varying from storyboarding, animation, digital illustration, and character design.
​
During my free time, I like watching movies, animated tv shows, and anime. I enjoy creating fan arts based on some of my favorite animated series. I also love playing video games, my favorite series are Sonic the Hedgehog, Mario, and Persona. I even have a hobby of collecting figurines and licensed merchandise and apparel from my favorite game franchises.
