This episode features Aidan Anderson. In 2016, while working as a furniture maker, Aidan Anderson noticed something - despite a growing passion for local design, there were very few platforms truly connecting designers, makers, and the people who love their work. Out of that realisation came The Local Project, a print and digital publication dedicated to celebrating the very best in Australian, New Zealand, and North American design. From architecture and interiors to industrial design and fine art, The Local Project champions authenticity and craft- sharing the stories of our creative community through print, film, and digital channels. Today, Aidan’s vision continues to inspire, connecting us all to the creativity, ingenuity, and artistry that define our local design culture. Enjoy
