Oh for sure, @laura I share with clients and designers, the word with the least meaning is ‘modern’.

Modern was first used in the 1400’s to represent the 15th-18th century, type from the 1920’s, minimal aesthetic approaches of the 1950-70s and somehow quick/cheap real estate updates of today!

My favorite moments of being a designer is when the world meets the work.

Here’s an in situ photo I shot at the 2024 Chicago Lowrider Festival that my friends curate and I designed at Span with my colleague Kevin Moreland.

When you are in Chicago, reach out, I’d love the opportunity to share with you why the South side is my favorite side!

My family is from Chicago’s south side neighborhood Back of the Yards, and today I live just East of there in Kenwood.
Some Chicagoans are afraid to go to the South and West Sides. The authors of "Don't Go" explain why. https://buff.ly/42uq5hL

People like hearing from you. I hear people often say “I met Jackson and he shared Xyz” or I hear Jackson speaking and I learned Etc.

For me I feel less anxious when I’m more confident that the audience possibly likes me. For Lyndon, she likes taking beta-blockers before major presentations.

At the Newberry Library’s ‘Making an Impression: Immigrant Printing in Chicago’ exhibition there was a print featuring all the mastheads of Chicago Lantinx newspapers.
