Short biography
I am a visual communicator based in Brooklyn, New York. I've been featured seven times in the AIGA/Design Observer 50 Books/50 Covers exhibition, as well as in numerous publications including Print Magazine, which called my work “some of the most easily recognizable since Penguin's orange spines.” In addition to my experience with both in-house and independent creative projects, I have taught at Parsons School of Design and spoken at the Type Directors Club, the School of Visual Arts, and the Dallas Society of Visual Communications. from website, retrieved 7/30/2024]
