ABOUT
Hi! My name is Aidan, I am a 23 year-old graphic designer based out of Orange County, California. I have always been interested in clothes and bringing a design to life into a physical format. Learning about the process of creating clothing was important to me so I decided to begin working at a few different screen printing facilities local to my area. This experience along with my work on other projects built my foundation, allowing me to take what I have learned and apply it to design, tech packs, and my communication with manufacturers.
Outside of design I enjoy reading, working on my car, growing my business, and creating videos documenting my process !
