About 

I am a recent graduate of Philadelphia University's Graphic Design Communication program. I currently design typefaces and any freelance work that comes my way. Outside of working I am a causal gamer, a bowler, and a hard-core trekkie. I also enjoy watching videos about astronomy, physics, and all sciences.
