New site

Updated site

I’ve cleared the cobwebs. I’ve given things a fresh coat of paint. It doesn’t look widely different, but it has been refreshed. (I promise.) Perhaps I’ll reserve a more details breakdown/highlight reel for a blog post.

In the meantime, you can see some slightly more recent work on the select work page.

Lately

I’ve been working at High Tide for the past three-ish years now. During that time I’ve gone from senior designer to associate design director.

Over the summer I pushed a massive update to the Type Foundry Directory. (Like MASSIVE.)

The Morning Type site got a bit of a refresh.

Kara and I went to Kenya and Zanzibar for a belated honeymoon. Oh, and we got married!

Now/upcoming

I am continually working on updates to the Type Foundry Directory. I also teased out my white whale—the Typeface Directory.

Just for fun, I am starting a Mockup Company.

I am preparing a font release for Tipofili.

Finally using my blog again.

I am hoping to introduce a few more sections to this site! And I’ll be continuing to refine the current state of things (because not everything is quite in order).
