My name is Aldo and I've been a designer for 10 years and an artist my whole life. I love balancing on the fine line between art and design by bringing the craft and technique from my art and the research driven process from my design into all of my work.
While I definitely live in the world of design now, my love of craft and working with my hands always brings me back to my roots, letting me have the best of both worlds.
