DC is currently Creative Director of Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Berkeley, CA, where he stewards and evolves the brand, creates seasonal key art, and designs all public-facing imagery and collateral.
DC has branded, rebranded, and evolved dozens of brand systems from the bottom up, giving them a consistent public face from logo through key art, and devising visual branding systems that will sustain them through years of growth. His design work has been featured at a wide range of institutions throughout the nation.
DC is also an exceptional educator and mentor in design and typography, engendering in new generations an enthusiasm and high standard for brand design, visual design, and type systems.
His own type designs are published through The Ampersand Forest, his type foundry, and are available at all Monotype outlets.

FUN FACTS!
- DC was born in The Bronx, but he has largely recovered.
- He went to Yale. Ditto.
- He was once nearly killed by a swarm of bees.
- At 13, DC was detained at the West/East Berlin border three weeks before the wall came down.
- He’s flown at Mach 2 (and boy were his arms tired!).
- He’s met a pope and a couple of cardinals, but they didn’t end up dating.
- While living there as a teenager, he used to explore London by going from rooftop to rooftop.
- To relax, DC clarifies and browns butter. No, really.
- While there, he lived for two years in the flat that the Clintons lived in while at law school. It was just as horrible as they say in their autobiographies!
- He is an inveterate paleonerd, and will fight anyone who thinks his Allosaurus tattoo is a T. rex (By “fight,” he means pawing at the air and going “rawr rawr.”)
- He was once twice his current size, and is currently on his third belly button.
