Aaron Heckman has been designing and remodeling homes in the Pacific Northwest since 2000. His work is grounded in listening, collaboration, and a commitment to creating spaces that reflect the lives of the people who inhabit them.
Aaron began his career in 1993 on large-scale projects, including Arkansas’s first IMAX Theater and a city-wide townhouse preservation program in Philadelphia. After relocating to Seattle, went on to focus primarily on single-family residential projects throughout the Puget Sound region, including Mercer Island’s first residential airplane hangar.
For more than 12 years, Aaron served as Senior Designer at a Bellevue architecture firm, managing multiple projects through every stage of design and construction. In 2016, he founded Heckman Architects with the intention of staying small and hands-on, ensuring each client benefits from his direct involvement.
With over three decades of experience, Aaron brings efficiency, attention to detail, and a clear design vision to every project—from initial concept through final construction—always with deep respect for the Pacific Northwest and the people who call it home.
