Directory

I am a print designer and mixed media/textile fine artist with a passion for typography and the book arts. At MassArt, I teach typography at every level as well as bookbinding. I developed a Community Partnership Design course in 2001 in which students partner with a community organization (usually in the public health/healthcare area).
