Interests:
I've always had an affinity for typography & designs with type. I have recently attended workshops at the San Francisco Center for the Book to learn Letterpress Printing basics. To this day, I still find time to create personal design projects with everything from CDR covers to travel itineraries and would love to start printing invitations and announcements with these new skills.
