Jennifer Daniel
by Claire Lui
“I think what I’m good at is being funny,” says Jennifer Daniel. When asked whether she has any big plans in the works—say, a book or a gallery show, she thinks about it and says no, that she wants to stick with... More
Zigmunds Lapsa
by Emily Gordon
Zigmunds Lapsa isn’t easily fazed. He grew up in Riga, the capital of Latvia, which he describes as a “country with 2.3 million people and 5.4 graphic designers at that time.” After two years in a local design program... More
Renda Morton

Hannah Cho
by Colin Berry

Budor+Cule
by James Gaddy
Dora Budor And Maja Čule are not Siamese twins. They’re not even sisters. But last year, they applied for a workshop co-taught by designers James Victore, Jan Wilker, and Paul Sahre by sending a Photoshopped picture... More
