Sorry for my absence! I’ve been working my tail off trying to get ready for missing a week of school. I’m off in a few minutes to Amsterdam for IxDA 2014! See you when I get back!

AIGA hand lettering workshop with Ken Barber
Photo via AIGA Pittsburgh. Back in September* I took this amazing hand lettering workshop through AIGA Pittsburgh with Ken Barber of House Industries (a type foundry). I was so excited I took both morning and the evening workshops (one for hand lettering, one for script). Barber was an extraordinary teacher, giving us a good introductory…
“Kern & Bern: Conversation With Design Entrepreneurs” belated reaction
I’m so behind, but I’ll try to write a little something anyway, for my own memory’s sake. (Note, some of this is from my post written for the AIGA/NY blog) So last Thursday, I went to an event called Kern & Bern: Conversation With Design Entrepreneurs hosted by co-authors Tim Hoover and Jessica Heltzel who led a…
Some pictures from NYC Bordo Bello
I took a ton, but here are a few. Very happy to help out Elysia, current AIGA Colorado president and designer extraordinaire, as she brings Bordo Bello to New York for the first time! The exhibition will be up at the AIGA National Design Center Gallery until July 3rd. Bordo Bello originated as an AIGA Colorado project in 2008 as a…
Another one to add to the list: Laurie Rosenwald

I had seen her work before through little animations she’d made for David Sedaris and then back-tracking to her own personal videos after really enjoying the design style. I remember after seeing this video coveting…
6 Things: Sagmeister & Walsh exhibition
My third post about Stefan Sagmeister in a row. I might be a little obsessed. Six Things: Sagmeister & Walsh is an exhibition at the Jewish Museum running now until August 4th and I implore everyone in New York to go. It’s short and sweet so it’s not like you’d have commit a whole day…
The intersection of time, money, and thought (and Stefan Sagmeister)
Whether or not an onlooker would feel likewise, I’ve come to a point in my career where I feel comfortable with the amount and quality of clients but I am still struggling with the art of asking. I find real, personal value in my process of creating a design and that value is coming up…
Recap: Documentaries and Dan visits, wandering ensues
I didn’t want to let another week go by quietly, especially since my good friend Dan came down to visit last week. So lets have a little recap, shall we?
Sebastian Errazuriz on ‘Hacking Life: Using Creativity to Break into the System’
Today I went to an AIGA lecture by Sebastian Errazuriz, a Chilean artist based in New York that was pretty interesting. He was the first presenter in a series called “Hacking Life: Using Creativity to Break into the System” and I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. First of all, he wasn’t even a graphic designer. 🙂
Rails Bridge | Day 2
Christy, Dina, and I pretty much re-invented the internet today using our new found knowledge of basic Ruby on Rails.
