There’s no such thing as downtime in my design life. For 25 years, I’ve created everything from magazines to websites to trade and mass-market books to artist’s books. And, above all, there’s branding. Putting the public face on an arts organization is something that hits me where I live, because brand identity, like type design, is about voice. Giving a company its voice. And there’s so much to say.
There’s so much to make!
