About Aidan

Who am I?

Hi, I'm Aidan. I'm a designer and creative technologist passionate about building emotionally aware experiences — whether that's a robot that mirrors expressions or an app that helps students find balance. I believe technology should feel human, and I’m always exploring ways to bridge the gap between interaction, behavior, and emotion.

Currently, I’m studying Information Science at Cornell University and love collaborating on projects that make people feel understood. Outside of work, I’m usually sketching ideas, testing prototypes, or watching Studio Ghibli movies.
