A huge treat for the Coffee and Ink podcast, one of my bucket list guests: renowned graphic designer Aaron James Draplin!

Having a long and storied career of making logos and posters, starting snowboarding magazines, and going out on his own as a one-man powerhouse of tremendous graphic design, I wanted to pick Aaron's brain to see if he had any advice for new artists and designers trying to carve their path in the world. 

We talked about how to get a freelance business going while still finding time to make work for cool people who don’t have a big budget, and how design can be used to benefit humanity.
