Aaron Stump
Senior Designer

Aaron was a pleasure to work with and manage during our time together at Respawn. I sawn him grow from being a hungry entry-level designer into a more mature and thoughtful senior designer. He owns his ideas from concept to completion, from pitching ideas, documenting features, and working with all disciplines to implement all that is required to ship maps for live service. He is a self-sufficient self-starter capable of taking direction and turning it into meaningful gameplay, regardless of the source being a loose idea or a more robust directives.

​

I would hire Aaron in a heartbeat for any genre of game, as his skillset transcends the gaps of knowledge that he may have in genres other than what he has worked on. He can learn any engine very quickly and produce content. His analytical mind allows him to process problems and approach the solution objectively, regardless of whether that is positional awareness for an FPS game, or landmarking traversal for an pen world game, or how to transition from story to gameplay for a narrative-driven game.

​

I trusted him to take on any challenge that I could throw at him. He took on a variety of complex challenges with focus and humbleness, something that doesnt come around too often in this industry but something every team needs more of.
