Details excite me. The playful descender of the letter q in this typeface, the elegance of the lowercase l on the last page of What Happens When Nothing Happens, or the boldness of the g’s on the cover of The Bigger Picture. This is characteristic of myself and my work: my passion and eye for detail.
My goal is to produce work that stands out and has a meaningful and memorable impact.
I want to design things that people can learn from and get inspired by. I want to make books that are so gorgeous that people want to put them on a special shelf instead of in their bookcase. I want to design packaging that people want to keep, even though the product is finished. I want to start conversations with my designs. I want to reach people with my work.
