I grew up loving letters as I watched my father paint signs. He taught me how to draw letterforms and I became obsessed with type. Calligraphy, hand lettering, and type selection are an integral and thoughtful part of my design process. I strive to communicate ideas through appropriate and innovative use of typography. My passion for type also inspired me to design my own unique typefaces and to develop font software for commercial use.
