One night only, Lincoln! Aaron Draplin Bio: Raised in the Michigan Northwoods, Aaron James Draplin threw it all away at the tender age of 19 and hit the road for the West; Snowboarding all over Oregon, washing dishes in Alaska, earning a hi-falutin' design degree from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, art directing a snowboarding magazine in the Southern California and ultimately being rescued back to Portland, Oregon. After a jam-packed two-year stint at the Cinco Design Office, he stood up on his own two feet to start the Draplin Design Co., armed with a seven-pound dachshund and an iron will. Seven years later, he's proud to report he's still going strong with clients all over the nation, and hell, even a couple abroad. He owes it all to his parents. Really.
