Aidan Wang

Aidan Wang studied Legal Studies and Political Economy at the University of California, Berkeley and entered Futuremakers with an interest in entertainment law, licensing, and copyright. A San Francisco native, he joined the program to understand his hometown more deeply and contribute through his existing skills.

For his independent project, Aidan provided media creation and consulting for three local hospitality businesses. He worked directly with a small-business owner on building a stronger digital presence, focusing on the style, editing, and practical skills needed to produce short-form videos. The project’s goal was to leave the owner and staff able to create their own content and sustain their outreach after the summer.

Aidan’s work connected an interest in creative industries with the everyday needs of local businesses. His project emphasized teaching usable skills and helping neighborhood enterprises communicate with new audiences.
