Aidan P. Klein
Writer, narrative designer, and amateur cartoonist.
My work includes a stop-motion platformer made of felted wool, an award-winning film script, and a fringe musical about a poet and his glam-rock doppelganger.
About
I recently graduated from Duke with an interdisciplinary degree researching and developing character-driven stories, bridging narrative writing, interactive media design, psychology, visual art, and performance. I am a "Swiss Army Artist" and can coordinate with teams throughout the development pipeline, filling in when needed.
As such, I’ve worn many hats in the places I’ve worked. At Wooly Games, I contributed to narrative and game design, level building, storyboarding, concept art, and asset cleanup. At the Duke Innovation Co-Lab, I managed a weekly newsletter, wrote copy, and designed graphics. At Supernal, I wrote brand voice and website copy for two rebrands, ran social media, scripted animations, and developed the story for a prize-winning screenplay.
In my spare time, I like to doodle, write poems, jam on the saxophone, and collaborate on creative projects. If you have something you'd like to work on together, feel free to reach out!
