  • Public Typography
    The book The Rise and Fall of Public Typography is based on the concept of embossed and debossed typography. Throughout my journey of designing the book I captured pictures of places I passed on my everyday travels – my subdivision, the parking lot, and around the Art and Design building. Starting with images, then moving to mood boards, and finally writing a narrative, the book transformed into my autobiography.
