What three pieces of advice would you share with aspiring designers looking to follow in your footsteps?
I’ve been on one hell of a speaking tour. At these words go to print, I’m up around a 100 speaking fiascos under my belt. And the offers keep coming in! Last spring spring, I did a 27 date tour!

Then, building the pieces into a presentation for the client. After you get feedback, you do it again. And you go back and forth a handful of times until something awesome pops out. It takes work, diligence, and good communication. And that’s how I’ve done it all these years. Funny enough, it’s always the underdogs.
Catching up with founder of Draplin Design Co: Aaron James Draplin
And all these years later? Those turd skiers have finally caught on to what we showed them. This has worked its way into my work in many ways. It taught me to be fearless, dumb and to go for it if it felt right.
Someone comes to you for a new logo – what's your process?
Hi, I am really grateful for your influence in my design work and I have given my class a preview of your work. We are a (very) small academy in a pretty big school in Santa Barbara and ANY time you are in Cali you are welcome here. We are kinda the underdogs in a big, stylish, city but we make do. I wish you so much more success and happiness. You are clearly a wacky, fun, guy and I hope you can influence my students more in the future. I just wanted to say thanks for sharing.
Posture, healthy backs and the creative industry, with Eleanor Burt
Your program was excellent…interesting, fun and weird. Plus thank you so much for the poster and other gear. You are too cool just like Willy says. I hope to cross paths with you perhaps at a Fontaine or Delines show one of these days. Just watched a video on Pinterest, that you did back in 2014, about inspiration from paper to final product “Logo Design Challenge”. Thank you for doing that video, because it helped inspire me to keep developing and honing my skills as an amateur graphics designer.
When I was ‘on the clock,’ either through pride or fear, I did a good job. But this was the ‘on the clock’ stuff. And some of it was dry and very much ‘by the book’.
On the most important lesson he’s learned from his life as a designer

They come back toyou for helping with a menu for their restaurant, or whatever it’s going to be. At the time, I was working at asnowboarding magazine, I met a lot of people there, and I tried to be a goodlittle worker. If they needed help, if they needed a little extra favour done,I would do these things, and I started to get calls to say, “Hey, youhelped us at the magazine really well.

As your two-legged is a designer by profession, comments would be welcome. He lives and works out of a backyard shop in an undisclosed location on the means streets of Portland, Oregon. In April 2000, much to the chagrin of his proud Midwestern roots, he accepted an ill-fated art director position with SNOWBOARDER magazine. He moved it all down to Shithole, Southern California-alongside some hot, caustic beach-and wrangled some 23 issues of the mag. He won �€œArt Director of the Year�€ for Primedia 2000, beating out such titles as Gun Dog, Cat Fancy and Teen. No other awards were bestowed in this period, and like he gives a rat�€™s ass.
Exhibit those moves in your work. It’s not being a movie prop designer where you just take the thing you found and make another version of it. It’s learning from the moves and then showing that in your work.
I know your time is a hard one to give up so I appreciate you getting this far. I met you a couple years back on a C3 sales meeting at Stevens Pass. Well see you soon in Vegas, come by our booth and say hello..
They liked the service, they likedthat I was somewhat of a good person. I think it comes down to just showing alittle bit extra at all times to get them excited. They see how that could workpast the logo and then they come back to you for some swag.
Anyway, a national campaign that could mobilize 100,000 “time gifters” each donating 100 hrs a year would yield 10 million donated hours. I saw your speech at the AIGA Conference last weekend and it was very inspiring. I saw him at AIGA and he seemed well. You should take comfort in knowing that he got to see you give such a wonderful, inspiring, presentation that showed how much you loved him and your Mom. I shared your work with my business partner/designer and there are a ton of similarities in your designs…Keep up the good work.. One thing that hit me hard was the importance of friends and the ability to do good work for them.
