zecchel_emoji Aidan Zecchel

A culture junkie who aspires to T-shaped creativity, Aidan revels in the hunt for insight that yields concepts with long legs. Curious from A to Z (like his initials) and compatible (ask him about kitchen/butcher shop banter), he kicks back by reading, bumping tunes, whipping up new recipes, and laying down watercolours.
