They are passionate about teaching people about typography and the history of American printing.

I worked on various projects for Hamilton. Some projects used the brand guide. Summer workshop TV slides and drink tokens for events with the bar (Ink & Drink workshop) used the brand guide. I also created an identity mark for the Old Type, New Ways Exhibition at MIAD.

Role In Project:

Researcher, Sketching, Concepting

Process:

During my internship, I led some projects and collaborated with other staff from the museum. For many of these projects, I did a lot of research and created documents for other team members to help communicate and organize my ideas.
