I run my own graphic design business in Champaign, Illinois. I started my career in the mid 80s working in the corporate design group at Burson-Marstellar in New York. We came to Champaign in order for me to get my masters degree in graphic design, and we never left.
My reintroduction to letterpress, through collecting wood type, has created a path to this venture of creating a virtual letterpress with my good friend and programmer, Jeff Adams. Along with this, I'm establishing a letterpress co-op in my community to offer access to those interested in working with wood type and traditional print methods.
