I am a designer and illustrator at beautiful Vassar College, located in Poughkeepsie, New York. I'll get a portfolio up here one of these days, but in the meantime, I'll be putting new (and not so new) work in Wildcard. I like design that is clean, usable, and personal - ideally, fun. I try to make things that are not just functional, but interesting.
Bullet points
I like: art · drawing and painting · design · icons · typography · logos · warning signage · graphic novels · unicode dingbattery ☺ · collage · old illustrations and engravings · dusty used bookstores · bright colors · discarded objects · autumn · monochrome bitmaps · quotes that sum things up nicely · good industrial design (but not bad industrial design) · storms · hiking · user interfaces · obscure operating systems · snow · sketching on random surfaces · Irving Farm coffee · M. C. Escher · frogs · driving at night · power lines · old machinery · minimalism · Legos · impressive hacks · unusual T shirts · Apple (but I'm not obnoxious about it) · Calvin and Hobbes · random oddities
Tools of the trade: Coda · Photoshop · Illustrator · DevonThink · TextEdit · FontExplorer
