Happy Hallo-versary month! We’re excited to celebrate our first year of being on NW23rd Ave in Portland! We couldn’t have done it without our fearless leader, Aaron Ketzenberger who runs our NW23rd Shop. This is also his 1-year anniversary with us at Creo and we’re blessed to have him on the team. Happy work-Anniversary Aaron!

Aaron serves as the shop lead for the NW 23rd location. He joined the team in October 2023 and opened the shop, serving as the first employee before being promoted. He has since hired out the staff and helped establish Creo in one of Portland’s busiest and most inviting shopping districts. Before working at Creo, he served in management and leadership roles in the nonprofit sector. 

When not selling chocolate, Aaron spends his time improvising on the team at Comedy Sportz. A true renaissance man, he also delights in the worlds of manga and music, often lost in a graphic novel or listening to vinyl--or both! You can often catch him playing city pop weekdays in the shop.
