Oh hey!
My name is Aidan and I am a Naarm/Melbourne based Graphic Designer and Illustrator. I treat my work with the core intention of having fun and love to push the boundaries when it comes to design. My work is inspired by my daily observations of unusual and forgotten objects commonly found in op shops, to the janky and eclectic world of naive design. I enjoy finding a balance between following the rules of design to straight up breaking them where possible.
Working in the design industry since 2016, I have gained a wide array of skills that I continue to utilise in all aspects of my work. From 2d animation to bespoke illustration, there is no limit to what I can create. I thrive on collaboration and welcome any challenge with enthusiasm and curiosity. I want to push the boundaries of design while also inspiring others to do the same. There is always room for some fun!
