Aaron Draplin is a legend in the design world.
In fact, if you’ve seen or held, or used a Field Notes notebook, you would be holding just one of many works he has created. Aaron has designed for lumaries like Bernie Sanders, Nike, and Target and his design talent is harnessed by folks from all walks of life: snowboard companies, magazines, musicians, festivals, even one of my favorite coffee shops in the world, The See See Motorcycle Coffee Company in Portland, OR, where he lives.
Today, we talk with Aaron about his love for branded merch. Aaron sells a ridiculous amount of cool merch at draplin.com and is a huge fan of our industry and what we do. In fact. I’d go so far as saying he is one of us but just …. a bit more extreme.
Chatting with Aaron is like lassoing the wind so you’re in for a good ride, join us as we talk about everything from designing with joy and charm, to nerding-out on the simplest of merch!
