Each doctor attending the Baltimore Limb Deformity Course was gifted a handsome pen from a small business in the French Quarter of New Orleans. I made this humble little card to go in the gift bag by combining the Maryland State Flag and the Fleur-de-Lis.
I'm a designer, painter, and recent graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art living in Baltimore.
My design is informed by art history and the handmade because I was in love with Goya, Hammershøi, and Bellows long before I found affection for Dwiggins or Glaser. Type design and lettering enthrall me more than any other aspect of graphic design and I think it’s because the product is a tool as well as an object of beauty. Type draws on the history of media, eliciting specific, often subconscious responses from readers.
Also, an honest profile of myself would not be complete without mention of my love for cooking. I'm usually thinking about Saturday’s dinner while eating Thursday’s lunch.
