Aaron James
owner/laser dude
How goes it? My name is Aaron James. I am a laser engraver, woodworker, and a sushi connoisseur.
Being raised in East Idaho, I have nurtured a strong love for the east side of the Gem State. I have made it a life mission to help locals and businesses in East Idaho by providing professional branded marketing items that won't be thrown away or retail products that customers will buy instantly.
I have also lived both in Japan and China and was intrigued by the amount of cultural connections East Idaho has with Asian culture, especially with Japan.
I have a vision of producing Japanese-influenced products to commemorate the beautiful cultural connection between East Idaho and Japan alongside ENSO.
Enso's Story
ENSO Creative was thought up by two friends, me (Aaron James) and Adam Ford. Both of us have lived in Japan and ended up running into each other in East Idaho. We learned that East Idaho has a unique relationship with Japanese culture, and it is celebrated in the form of sister cities between Idaho Falls and Toukai-mura of Japan. Both of us also came from a creative background and want to find ways to channel the unique Japanese design aesthetic and attention to detail into our own designs and creations.
​
After a lot of planning and testing, I decided to buy a laser and create goods at the local farmer's market. The products exploded with popularity! From there on, Adam, Mei (Adam's wife), and I have been working on Enso's network, designs, and products.​
Enso's Goal
We aim to provide solutions for creating branded merchandise and souvenirs for local and online customers and businesses. Currently, we specialize in wood Laser Engraving, CNC Routing, UV printing and Graphic Design.
We also have the ability to provide items such as stickers, tumblers, illustrations, and much more.
