^This question is so difficult…
Do you have a favorite among all the projects you’ve worked on?
No, it’s always the most recent one that I just finished
Is there a project that stands out to you as having been the biggest challenge of your career so far?
No, for some reason, there’s never an easy project… They all challenge me in different ways or maybe I just have bad luck.
What do you hope to accomplish in the future?
Start my own practice, but especially a type foundry.
What’s your best advice for designers today?
Work hard, play hard.
