LOVES
Calling out typefaces in the wild. The smell of a print project hot off the press. Road maps. Lil’ Wayne. PMS 310. York Peppermint Patties. My boys and my cat. Offset. Grid paper and basically all office supplies. Futura. Apples (speaking in terms of hardware and fruitware). Billy Corgan. New Order. Texture and materiality. Split fountains.
Baking. John Lennon. Jeopardy. Netflix. Lemon-flavored anything. The beach. Navigating unfamiliar transportation systems in big cities. Good, strong coffee. Rapidographs. Rad nail art. Mixed nuts. The library. Dream pop and shoegaze. Handwritten letters (of all kinds). Night moves.
