Hi, I’m Doug!

I’m a creative director, writer, filmmaker, & cyclist who lives in Denver, Colorado and likes to talk about fonts.

Experience & Design Focus

I’ve spent over 20 years working with companies like Nike, Canva, Starbucks, Netflix, Sony Playstation, Herman Miller, Linotype, Monotype, Rapha, Virgin Mobile, and many others.

As a font consultant, I work with indie type foundries and big distributors to bring an outside perspective and deep understanding of the ever-changing industry.

My Work & Projects

Talks & Publications

My thoughts and ideas have been featured in many books, magazines, design podcasts, online publications, and even once on National Public Radio.

I’ve presented at “The New York Times,” NASA Goddard, Condé Nast, DDB, Lippincott, BBDO, TWBA, ATypI, TypeCon, Typographics, and TYPO Berlin.

I am currently writing a book about the Linotype typesetting machine which revolutionized the world.

Be in Touch, Won’t You?
