I want to say thank you to @typedirectors and to the #TDCAscenders jury for recognizing my work (and myself) as one of the 25 winners of TDC Ascenders No.3.

I’m proud to be among such an amazing group of designers and prolific type-heads. I feel blessed that my wrongheaded approach can situate somewhere within the design ecosystem. It’s great to be here 🥸🥳

Thanks to @civilizationnyc for taking a chance on me as a young graduate, and for the now 10+ year ongoing collaboration on many things ( now @interviewmag ), to all of Interview’s amazing staff from photo to editorial who produce such lovely stories which are a dream to design, to @nonsenzo and @rob_vargas_officiel for the space to grow and experiment at @businessweek, to the whole @txtbooks crew for allowing to create borderline illegible graphics on our behalf, to Francesca DeMusz and @ryantcarson for trusting me to design their poetry in a non-traditional format, and to @braulioamado for inviting me to fill in for @goodroom for a month.

Hoping for more fucked up graphix and collabs all around.
