Spiritual Engineering is an online publication focused to open resource sharing related to type design, programming, and the meta-discussion of open sharing itself.

The site was inspired by Warp Record's Whole Warp Catalog, and was built as part of my independent study at the University of Pittsburgh.

This site is the home of RGF_1, the first completely regenerative settlement in the heart of Antarctica.

I was asked to design and develop this fictional site as part of Irregular Lab's annual report.

This site features custom typography, interactive 3D with Three.js, and a modular backend built on Kirby.

OnlyFonts is a playful collage application that uses variable fonts as the medium.

Users can drag around variable glyphs to create artworks, infographics, or even new letters.

I created a few custom typefaces specifically for this site, including Times GNU Roman (desconstructed Times), and V-Stems (a mix of shapes and body parts).

The Earth Coincidence Control Office is an online community for type designers, by type designers.

I made this group after feeling lost and confused after hanging around the type design subreddit (if you know you know!).

ECCO is a community that encourages experimentation and expressive type design, even at the expense of legibility. We do type crits, graphic design talk, and general chats.

As the digital and web manager for team KK, I am entirely responsible for managing all digital media and web presence for the company. In the summer of 2018, I began working on the website that would be home to all of our projects, information, and occasional product sales.

We wanted to make something very unusual and eye catching, but clean. I went through many, many iterations, including (excessive) parallax effects until we settled on this 3D circular design. The multidimensional carousel spins depending on the mouseX and mouseY position within the frame. The result is a bold, yet minimal home base for the brand.

After this was completed, I was also asked to make a logo for the brand. I ended up with this 3D motion graphic completely devoid of shadows or lighting effects, with the spinning letters KK inside a ring. The logo is modular: every employee can use a variant of the logo with their own initials online. Circles, motion, transparency became staples of the brand as a whole.

ThingCooker is a project generator heavily based on Type @ Cooper's TypeCooker. I found their typeface prompt generator super fun and useful, but it had some limitations.

What if I wanted a random project generator instead? ThingCooker lets you generate ideas for logos, websites, posters, and even typefaces. It's a bit silly, but by connecting ideas which normally wouldn't be connected, I get a little burst of excitement and inspiration. I hope you do too.
