You’ve come to know Designspeaks for its diversity of speakers, each sharing their own unique perspective. From Byron Ferris to Jelly Helm, Aaron Draplin to Andrea Marks, Modern Dog to Patrick Coyne, Designspeaks has set out to introduce and re-acquaint. To inform and engage. And to gather and celebrate the most intriguing thinkers and makers within our region.
So now you need to come to know Frank Chimero. If you’re not familiar with his work, you likely haven’t been paying attention. If you do know him, you’re likely better off for it. Since his move to Portland this spring, Chimero has already made an indelible 
impression upon the local design community—by way of his teaching, his design writing (and provocative musings), and his flourishing Office of Frank Chimero. Of course, Frank tends to get things done a bit more quickly than most, garnering, among other honors, inclusion in Print magazine’s coveted 20 Under 30: The New Visual Artists Exhibition.
Frank is an illustrator, designer, educator and writer in Portland, Oregon. His fascination with the creative process and visual experience informs all of his work. Each piece is the part of an exploration in finding wit, surprise, honesty and joy in the world around us. His work has been recognized by Print Magazine, HOW Magazine, Step Magazine, the Society of Illustrators and has been featured in numerous books.
