I had an AMAZING holiday. Got my very own piece of the design pie ☺️🥧. Got from 🎁 and JUST AS I THOUGHT, it’s filled with classic thick-lined Draplin goodness. Def n gonna to take a while for me to ogle through the pages. AND I bought my FIRST piece of Drap art and it’s been sitting in a poster container for months! The in-laws gifted me with the matte frame I wanted for Christmas 🎄😫. Needless to say my holiday was made.

Watch. Next goal is an event to get my book signed! 😂🤞🏾I’m speaking it!

What I love about Aaron Draplin is his ability to create (what seem like) simple and beautiful design shapes with clean, thick lines and bold primary colors. It made me feel seen starting out as a self-taught designer. It made me realize design didn’t need all the bells and whistles. You needed creativity, practice, a lil weirdness, and a true love for seeing your work come to life. Thanks !! 🚀

Check out this brand refresh concept I just designed for the East Cooper Civic Club (ECCC).
The ECC is a historically Black community located in Scanlonville, SC. Established by freedman Robert L. Scanlon in 1868, Rob bought the land and basically put ALL his people on. Compromised of freed people, this community was buzzing with Black-led industries of all sorts: educators, agriculturists, scientists, pilots, creatives, craftsmen - you name it!

The best way to support your Black creatives is to engage + share!
Thanks, Frennss!

The East Cooper Civic Club is an exclusive community organization made up of descendants and members of the original Scanlonville, SC community. Scanlonville was one of the first African American communities inhabited, and OWNED, by freed slave.

Robert purchased the 614 acres of property and put all his people on! This rare gem continues to remain strong today as it serves as a pillar of activism, history, and ownership for the Remley's Point/Scanlonville community.

Our goal with this rebrand was to bring the org into the 21st century. Sans serif, simple hues, and round text gave us the ability to play around with the modern, yet inviting FEELS.

Happy JUNETEENTH, y'all!!

Learning more about figure drawing and practicing on Procreate with stamps + new brushes. Practice makes perfect with shadows + lighting.

Gotta keep the creative juices flowing; especially as the clients pick back up. It's important to schedule time for work-fun: activities not DIRECTLY related to clients, yet inspirational.

Here's a merch concept for our Cookie Basics aprons. Love taking a cute + peppy pattern and putting it to good use. Patterns are a great way to create a signature look for your brand, without overusing your name or logo

#𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 concept for Banks Animal Hospital in Irmo, SC. Dedicated to my ace, Nashville Darby🐶🕊.

Nash went to Banks for almost 15 yrs, and it happened to be my first job. So awesome. Was able to get my restricted license at 14yo because of that job LOL.
