Hey there.
I’m Aidan.

I’m a designer who’s mainly into branding and visual storytelling, but really I’m just interested in making things that feel alive and human in a pretty digital world. I like work that doesn’t feel overly precious or polished, more like it came from a real place and actually means something to someone.

I’m still figuring a lot of things out and I kind of like it that way. I’m constantly curious, hungry for opportunity and learning, paying attention to small details in everyday life, and letting that bleed into whatever I’m working on. I also like experimenting with tools like AI when it makes sense, not as a shortcut, but as another way to explore ideas, which I think is important.

Outside of design I’m usually outside. Skiing, hiking, camping, skateboarding, anything that gets me moving and away from a screen for a bit. That’s usually where the best ideas sneak in anyway.
