Tamarama is a monolinear, sans serif typeface inspired by Sydney’s cultural blend of people and nature. The unmodulated lines give it a clean simplicity, while the crude angularity adds a more rugged quality. The rounded ends create a friendliness reminiscent of the sunny disposition of Sydneysiders. Named after a small beachside suburb, Tamarama is also a nod to Australia’s surf culture.

"Built" is a display typeface inspired by the idea of having to save space when living in a city apartment. I imaged a typeface that had visual dimension and could perhaps be regarded as a piece of furniture when large printed on a poster. It was designed from a set of hypothetical materials that you could assemble together if they were real. Character set includes: basic letters, number forms and general punctuation.

“Young Barca” is a project inspired by the young people I met while living in Barcelona. During my stay, I decided to work on a book where I interviewed and photographed young people on the street and asked them about their experiences living in Spain. For the book, I designed a typeface that felt fresh but also a bit subversive.

For my third Cool Cool NYC art show entitled “Studies”, I showcased explorations in graphic minimalism and ideas on how we physically acknowledge art. The “Singles Gestures” series plays around with the idea of using only single continuous strokes and is a lesson in control and letting go. My “Art of Experience” series illustrates how people look at art in a public setting and show that they are outwardly ‘acknowledging’ and ‘considering’ the piece.

“Casual Optimism” means that you look like you’re having a good day without being overly excited about it. I wanted a typeface to capture that feeling. With wide widths and rounded forms, I designed this sans serif typeface to feel simple and friendly—contemporary but not too experimental.
