About

I’m Aidan Calderon, a fashion-focused designer and merchandising professional based in Seattle. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Washington State University in Apparel Merchandising, Design, and Textiles, and I now combine hands-on apparel design and construction with in-store visual storytelling to create polished, brand-right experiences.

I currently run my own clothing brand and also bring experience designing and building apparel collections, conducting market research, and managing merchandising and visual standards across multiple luxury retailers. From styling mannequin displays to executing floor refreshes and coordinating social media and marketing for my studio, I love translating creative direction into clear, cohesive presentation that supports sales and brand campaigns.
