Running can sometimes be boring if it’s done as part of a training program. So, one year while training for a half-marathon I decided to create a typeface that uses my running routes to create the 26 characters of the alphabet plus 0 – 9 and an ampersand symbol.

Launching a capital campaign is an important undertaking for an institution, and it is imperative that the campaign communications be strategic and impactful. During our intake meeting, we discovered that the advancement team relied heavily on printed one-sheet communications delivered to prospective donors. We moved this important content to the website to allow advancement officers to pivot seamlessly during a meeting and share targeted information in an interactive digital environment.
So many things were going on in the summer of 2020. This project was my way to process all that I was consuming and possibly inspire people to learn about some of the things that I was reading about. I researched quotes that touched on current events topics and used these to bring in a human element while exploring some design principles about time, motion, and space. Vote!
