About
I am a graphic and type designer in Ithaca, New York. I founded Etcetera Type Co and You Think This Is A Game and am ½ of Relays. I make music as Advenuteson. I have produced work for Google, Chronicle Books, NBC Universal, AT&T, Constant Contact, Ithaca Beer Co, and The Planetary Society.
My career started with websites I made in Flash and has evolved considerably over 15 years. I’ve created a board game, rebranded and marketed a brewery, and started an open source type foundry. I code websites for fun (like this one). I try to return to my childhood home of Maine every August. I’ve driven across the United States, twice and only broke down once. I spent a month in India during my early 20s and I still think about thali and chai (the real stuff). I’m working on my first novel, it’s about living forever, kind of.
I used to run a lot. I eat like I still run a lot. I roast sweet potatoes about three nights a week. My dog’s name is Yoshi. I lived and worked in LA for one summer and am now immortalized on film driving through the last shot of a stupid movie. I have a small but growing list of albums that I believe to be perfect. Want to know what they are, or work together, or chat? Just send me an email. Just want to stay informed? Get my newsletter.
