“Thank you so much for a wonderful type experience. I was so psyched to attend your workshop, and you definitely didn’t let me down! Your expertise is phenomenal. It was an intense yet pleasurable learning experience; the day seemed to fly by. I really do love type, and now I can be confident in my use of type after your workshop.”
– Barbara Fox, Senior Graphic Designer

“Your course was great! Since taking it, I can’t help but look at every book title, magazine headline, and even company logos, trying to find out what they did wrong! And how often that’s the case! It was really helpful and entertaining!”
– Robyn Hinckley, Design Supervisor

“I attended your workshop with a colleague of mine, and being ‘type-geeks,’ we found your workshop stimulating, informative and thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks for a great day immersed in counters, kerning and ascenders… (three months later) I can honestly say that your workshop has really fine-tuned my approach to type, and that months later I’m still applying the knowledge gained at your workshop.”
– Akshay Pithwa, Art Director

“Your class was exceptional. I will never see letters the same again! What have you done? Hah! Thanks so much!
– Erin Greene, Brand and Design Manager
