Intro
Welcome back to SL Selects, the bi-weekly newsletter from Second Lake.
Today’s guest is graphic designer, fit thrower, fellow football (soccer) enthusiast, and newly accepted member of the SLS alumni, @aadarshsantosh.
We came across Aadarsh late in 2022 when the World Cup was underway. After plenty of conversation revolving around footy and brands we enjoy, we knew at some point we’d have to bring him onto the newsletter. Well, we’re finally here, and we’re stoked.
Aadarsh, welcome to the SLS.
Without further ado, let’s get into it!
Tell us a bit about yourself..
Hey! I’m Aadarsh. I’m an multidisciplinary designer based out of Atlanta.
Chick-fil-A calls me Ezra though.
What’s one place everyone should visit?
Dubai. I grew up there and it’s always been my go-to spot. The city is just amazing.
What’s one essential clothing item for you and why?
Black and white basic tees. You can never go wrong styling those from something with cargos to nice pleated pants.
What’s one essential non-clothing item for you and why?
My water bottle. Can’t leave without that.
What 3 pieces of footwear in your current rotation?
Any personal grails?
I’ve started slowly getting into watches, so it would be a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual. It’s just so classy.
Current fragrance? If any.
Aesop Marrakech.
Tell us an underrated brand or person you enjoy.
@imdanielsimmons. He may not be underrated, but the pieces he has and the way he styles them is so good, and he has a great vibe!
Guilty pleasure?
Toast drenched in nutella.
Favorite song/record?
I’ve got a couple.
Coffee or tea?
Coffee, sucker for that vanilla latte.
Pencil or pen?
Pencil, love doodling.
Reality or fiction?
Fiction.
Anything you’d like to plug, go ahead. The floor is yours.
I make playlists and I love sharing music so check it out.
Thanks for this opportunity man!!! This was fun!
Outro
Appreciate you all tapping in and thank you, Aadarsh, for taking the time and joining the ranks of the SLS. You’re appreciated.
We hope you’re all having a great week so far and continue to do so.
Make the best of it!
As per usual, thanks for reading and I’ll see you in 7 days.
