Jared Aronson is a pretty impressive person. He is the owner of Madhouse Tees. I first met Jared at a craft fair a couple of years ago, where he had a booth set up to sell his t-shirts. I was immediately struck by his, um, different... sense of humor. He really has a fresh take on things.
When I wanted to have my own t-shirt design to promote my work as a stage hypnotist, I went to Jared. I just knew that he would come up with something that other people would think was cool and fun, and he did. But Jared's story is about more than t-shirts.
Jared was diagnosed with a form of muscular dystrophy at four-years-old. Even though he's confined to a wheelchair and on a ventilator he continues to design and run Madhouse Tees. He creates his designs using a software program that allows him to draw using a trackball mouse. The passion Jared has for his company and product is fueled by his love for laughter and making others laugh too. Jared wants to educate the world about physical limitations by saying, “Just because you have a disability doesn’t mean you don’t have creativity and passion.” I think he's got it spot on.
