Education

Penn State University. Class of ’83. Earned a BFA in Fine Art but also took some design classes. Design Professor Bill Kinser was a profound influence — he taught me that this is hard work, that the smallest details matter. He was tough but also unexpectedly warm and supportive. A desire for more training led me to Portfolio Center in Atlanta, GA which was full of teachers in the vein of Kinser. I came out of that PSU/PC crucible prepared to work.

My “tombstone” typeface:

Serif would be Berkeley Old Style. Sans Serif would be Futura. Both have an aesthetic I find appealing. I had a type teacher at PC tell me that there are basically 15-20 classic typefaces and all the rest are either derivatives or fads. These two were on his list — if it’s for eternity I’d like it to be a classic.
