Do you perform better or learn easier when having a reason to do so? I sure do.

Typography has long taunted me as a beautiful and expression form of communication, and being that I'm a designer, artist, illustrator, and photographer, it seems only fitting that I should make an effort to learn it. So I created a project for myself to do exactly that.

My good friend, Lisa Shufro put together the world class speaker line up for this year's Life is Beautiful festival.
