Bio
Julian Gratton
Not only is Aidan one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, he's also one of the most talented. From coming up with concepts for an advertising campaign to absolutely nailing a piece of animation or creating a brilliant brand film... Aidan has it all. Been an absolute pleasure to have him in my creative team and have his talents on my side tackling a wide range of creative challenges.
David Campbell
Aidan is an ideas powerhouse. Over 12 weeks in School Of Thought I watched him present idea, after idea, after idea - with loads of them hitting the mark. A guy who is open enough to explore things from every angle and brave enough to back his thinking.
