Weirdest thing encountered at CalArts?

Well, there is this skunk that hangs out in the courtyard and i've grown very fond of it's company.

Favorite project at CalArts?

I had fun printing on the riso!

Funnest memory from a crit?

Maybe just watching people struggle to stay awake.

Three words that describe your current work?

Print, digital, typographic.

How have current (big) circumstances affected your perspective on design?

In a lot of ways. I think it boils down to thinking about what really matters.
