Chilling Nation
Multimedia Designer and Brand Owner
I've created this brand with the intention to create my own project and illustrations. As a designer, I always had to follow briefings and usually work on things that I wasn't really happy about. This is my way of making my own art and design with my own ideas and my own briefings. It's been liberating so far. It's great to work on a project that you really want to get done and that you can just throw in the bin if you don't think it went as expected.
At Chilling Nation I am responsible for creating graphics and illustrations for products and marketing those products via social media creating engaging content for the brand. I will also create the brand blog in the near future and do it all myself. It's also being a great experience in order to find out what I can do on my own.

Customizing Type with Draplin: Creating Wordmarks That Work With Aaron Draplin
Aaron Draplin shares tried and true techniques for customizing type – an essential skill for graphic designers of all levels. Draplin digs for antique typographic references and then creates several type treatments of his own to design merchandise for Portland, his beloved hometown. The lessons covered:
Discovering reference material
Kerning - owning the space between characters
Customizing letterforms
Sketching type from scratch
Prepping a file for print (and even finding a good promotional item vendor to work with!)
PLUS bonus segments on adding texture and rebuilding typefaces from scratch
Draplin teaches you to avoid "default" typeface settings and to take ownership of your design by managing the forms, in-between spaces, and relationships of the letters you're working with. Once you master customizing type, you'll have a powerful skill in your design toolkit for every branding, logo, and visual styling project that comes your way.

Personal Interests
On my spare time, you'll easily find me on a skatepark near where I live or out at the beach. I love skateboarding and skateboarding culture, this includes urban arts, music, tatoos, and the lifestyle. I also got into Yoga recently and this is teaching so much about myself that I fell in love with it.
My social life goes around friends and I don't party that much, even though I like when I do it. I really enjoy spending time with my wife, doing Yoga, watching movies and TV series, playing video games, cooking at home and I also love our cat.
