The School of Art & Design was pleased to host award-winning graphic designer Aaron Draplin all the way from Portland, Oregon!

As a Traverse City native, Aaron has blazed his way across the design industry working for clients like Nike, Wired Magazine, Burton Snowboards Patagonia, and most recently, a best-selling author with his mid-career hardcover collection of “Pretty Much Everything”.

Here is a brief video recap of the event!
