AARON RASK CODDEN

"The job of an educator is to teach students to see vitality in themselves."

- Joseph Campbell

Drawing and designing are at the heart of who I am and what I do at WOW.  To complement my work in the profession, I practice as adjunct faculty teaching six to eight design classes a year and love to weave my artistic abilities into my work at WOW.  In my free time, I sketch up a storm working on commissions, stickers, lesson plans, and other design-heavy projects.  Art and architecture are such a complementary pair, and I get to live my dream at our studio by merging these two every single day.  Every Friday, I make sure our whole team remembers to wear a crazy, wild shirt to keep things interesting.  I also sport my “Minnesota Nice” attitude on the regular and love making people feel welcomed at our studio.  In the next few years, I plan to start a PhD in education to achieve my goal of becoming a dean then university president of a design institution.
