I've worked on numerous custom lettering projects over the years, from free-flowing scripts to ornate monograms. I am particularly inspired by vintage ephemera, and my early experiments recreating old Sanborn map covers was pivotal in how I approached the malleability of type. This gallery presents a cross section of my lettering works for a variety of clients.
