Aidan earned his degree in Film & TV from NYU before relocating to Los Angeles to work in 2D animation, contributing to two Academy Award-winning shorts. After seven years he pivoted into education, working with Pre-K-8 kids and teaching character design, drawing, painting, and sculpting. He arrived at the ETC with an interest in exploring and learning skillsets related to physical making, prototyping, location-based entertainment, emotional immersive storytelling, filmmaking, and growing as an artist and experience designer for people of all ages. His goal is to do meaningful work beyond the bounds of a screen that impacts, educates, and entertains.
