I’m a graphic designer, web developer, and artist living in Chicago with an interest in exploring the ways knowledge and visual language are circulated across and mediated by (hi)storytelling technologies. In other words: typography. This usually happens through lectures, books, screenings, websites, and other forms of publishing, and in conjunction with themes of self-organization and ecology. I’m a partner at the design studio Platform, a co-founder of the bookshop Inga, and working with the Anthropocene Commons network.
I've written for Amalgam, Counter-Signals, Extra-curricular (ed.), MUBI, Are.na, and the Walker Reader, and have lectured or taught workshops at Yale School of Art, School of the Art Institute Chicago, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, UIC School of Design, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, The New School, and La Foresta's Accademia di Comunità.
