I love talking about typography and design and today was super special because the discussion was with 30 scientists, educators and students at the Ecological society of America 2019 meetings.

I hosted an interactive workshop with Sarah Prather (@kaleideum) and Ariane Peralta (ECU Biology) and Bethann Garramon Merkle (@commnatural) providing framework and techniques for scientists to more effectively communicate their research.

Included are a selection of doodles the participants contributed that I liked and a not-so-rare husky sighting.

Will stop and make a photo of every hand-painted ampersand -

Devastated. Glued to my phone watching updates on the flames demolishing one of the world’s greatest treasures. Unearthed this old photo and many other memories. Love and strength to our neighbors in France 🖤

This place, that essentially shaped my entire life, was founded 100 years ago today. Happy founding day, Bauhaus, so glad to know you.

Want to crush the industrial design trend? I highly recommend moving a letterpress into your living room. Last week I printed these invitations to my MFA Thesis which investigates how Design influences our perception of political candidates and sways voters. ⚙️⚙️⚙️
Also, a belated thank you to everyone who helped in moving this heavy gal.

Found these sweet peaches in GA

Now officially known as ‘the lady from the sign’.
Many thanks to @ecusoad for providing excellent resources + an environment for making and @redeecu for promoting my research.

Final assignment: take a cheesy family photo holding your work because you kicked ass this semester.
Crazy proud of this bunch, their outstanding progress in their first ever design class and the community they built over the last 4 months.

Winter in the South

My letterpress printed ‘Design Archive’ was installed at @ecusoad this past week. Thanks to all who visited and to @ecugraygallery for the support and perfect space.

Rocking the Vandercook with my favorite tiny human to kick off the semester

Final lessons from the fleeting summer: ▫️Swimming in the Mediterranean Sea is the best time to drink wine. ▫️Black sand beaches are devastatingly beautiful. ▫️When the rental car is a ‘Micra’ it can be parallel parked in impossibly small spaces. ▫️Doors with souls should always be captured and saved for future projects.
▫️Time spent with @mbonifresh and @laurenmmcdaniel is extraordinary no matter where on earth it is.
