    Freelance Brand & Visual Designer | Illustrator | Letterer – Chair of AIGA MN Solopreneurs

    Last Thursday a group of #AIGAMN #Solopreneurs toured Franklin Press, Inc. in Plymouth to learn more about the capabilities of print and paper! More specifically, the group learned more about the wide range of projects that Franklin Press tackles, what types of projects are trending upwards, and what the most common missteps seen in projects (esp. as the companies exist more in digital spaces). During the tour the group got to look behind the scenes at the printers and processes that bring projects to life! Thank you Bryan Franklin, Camille Byars, and Lindsey Jennings for hosting our group and creating a memorable experience! And thank you to David Jaimes for helping put this idea in motion! Next month the AIGA Minnesota Solopreneurs meet virtually for a mid-year Check-In Chat! This will be a great opportunity to share how your 2024 has been and what you’re looking forward to for the rest of the year with like-minded creative professionals! Our monthly meetups are free to attend whether you're a member or not 😊.
