QUICK SPIEL

Aidan is a Vancouver-based Art Director and designer currently helping deliver work with adam&eveDDB US (a pandemic-era arrangement that stuck).

A conceptual / storytelling-first creative who also sweats the craft down to every detail. A Molson Coors client once said, “Honestly, my progressive lenses can’t keep up with Aidan.”

Before advertising, he lived a very colourful working life: joining the workforce at the ripe age of nine, starting in a bike shop, before moving on to house painting, house cleaning, and nearly a decade in craft butchery and charcuterie.

Outside of work, Aidan lives in the kitchen, where he’s happiest whipping something up for anyone within reach. His wife says he uses way too many dishes, but she’s happy to eat her feelings on that one.
