Even from a young age, I was fascinated by book design. I would spend hours in bookstores (R.I.P Borders) and my local library picking up books and studying every detail, the art, the type, the effects. While I can appreciate a book’s contents, I am completely guilty of judging books by their covers. One of the goals of my life has been to make beautiful books for others to enjoy and marvel at.
