What I’ve been up to this summer ☀️


Hi Reader,

I hope you're doing well! I've been having a fun and busy summer here in New York, with a few new work opportunities that I'm grateful for after a slow start to the season.

And while work was slow, requests for podcast interviews weren't! 🎙️ I was invited to chat with Justin Robinson and Elizabeth Silver, and I've linked both interviews below where you'll learn more about my career journey and client pitching process!

To wrap things up, I'll be back on Adobe Live tomorrow (hope you can tune in!), and I've rounded up a few things I've been loving lately, so I hope you find something fun or inspiring! As always, thanks for being here, and I can't wait to share more with you soon.

Elizabeth Silver Podcast Interview

It was a lot of fun getting to chat with Surface Pattern Designer Elizabeth Silver about pitching my work to potential clients. You can check out the interview on YouTube or read the blog post!


Art School Graduate Podcast Interview

I had the pleasure of being a guest on Justin Robinson's Art School Graduate podcast earlier this summer. We talked about my background, my journey as a lettering artist, and more. Listen to it wherever you enjoy podcasts!

I'm excited to announce I'm going to be back on Adobe Live on 8/7 at 2 p.m. EST for a fun two-hour livestream with host Jacob Paris!

During the livestream, I'll be showing you my process for refreshing old lettering pieces in Fresco to pitch to stationery brands. Don't forget to set your reminder for the stream so you don't miss out on the fun. Hope to see you there! 🎉
