\"Southwest<\/a><\/p>\n

I pay my bills<\/strong> working as a typeface designer (and occasionally speaking about design and typography). Please have a look<\/a> at some past projects in case you\u2019re curious about the custom type design, graphic design, and type-related research I\u2019ve done in the past.<\/p>\n

Gina and Typeface Design at the University Reading<\/h2>\n

\"Hello,<\/a><\/p>\n

In 2007 I finished an MA in typeface design<\/strong> at the University of Reading<\/a> in the U.K. It was one of the most extraordinary years of my life, and type design was only one of the many things I learned during it. Have a look at my thesis project, Gina,<\/a> as well as have a look at some of my writing, reseach, and photography from that year.<\/p>\n

From Sparky’s Sketchbook<\/h2>\n

\"Figure<\/a>I may pay the rent with my nerdly skills,<\/strong> but long before I ever touched a computer or thought about code I kept myself busy by drawing, drawing, drawing. Every now and then I dig up some of those old drawings and remember that I was developing some skills, and I take another crack at some life drawing to sharpen my eyes and hands before I lose those skills altogether. See the results…<\/a><\/p>\n

Playlist<\/h2>\n

Not really a project,<\/strong> but a bit of record-keeping. The Playlist<\/a> is a comprehensive record of every singer, musician, or band I’ve ever seen live (subject to gaps in my memory).<\/p>\n
