Meet Aaron Irizarry

Aaron Irizarry Interview

I first stumbled upon, no pun intended, Aaron Irizarry a few months ago when I read his article “Blessed are the flexible“. As I continued to read his blog I found myself thinking his words where exactly what I had been thinking. Aaron has a very genuine writing style that is easy to read and full of personal experience and compassion. Getting to know and talk with Aaron over these past couple of months have been great. He was even featured in my “Branded Designers” post. We both seem to share a common desire in that we both love design but we want to do more than just use our talents for our own personal gain.

interview: andrio abero at 33rpm

Andrio Abero at 33rpm designs

When it comes to finding gig posters there is definitely no shortage. But it seems the good ones, I mean the really good ones, come few and far between. And that’s why I was ecstatic when Andrio Abero, over at 33rpm, said he wouldn’t mind doing an interview for me. I have followed Andrio’s work now for the past three years, and his progression has been wonderful to watch. His work has been featured in numerous magazines including Print Magazines Regional Design Annual, not once but twice. Andrio has also been involved in over 40 exhibitions for his work and received more honors than you can count on your fingers. But if you think Andrio is only good for a print design, then you would be mistaken, his web portfolio is just as impressive.

So sit back, relax and enjoy all that is 33rpm.

interview: nectar

Nectar: A fresh look at you interview

If you were to look up Nectar in the dictionary you’d find a picture of the six sexiest guys you’ve ever seen, along with the definition: “A company built upon strong relationships with an even stronger commitment to serving up the best in personal branding on the web.”

I first met the men of Nectar back in August, well one-half of them anyways. Josiah, Caleb, Aaron and myself got to know each other at the Dallas Museum of Art. Then I met Dave for lunch the following week and that just seemed to really open the door to working with these guys. But it wasn’t until Nectar Hackathon 2.0 that I got to meet the rest of the team, Brett and Charles, and work right along side of them. These guys are the real deal with a lot of heart and a lot of passion for what they do. So without further ado, it’s my pleasure to present you with an in depth look at the minds behind Nectar.
