A Little Something About Me:

I'm Will. I'm a graphic designer based in Oakland, CA. And I think we've gone a little too far with all of these pastel gradients everywhere.

I entered the design field in the last couple of years, after more than 15 years as an editor and writer in educational publishing. In that earlier phase of my career, I sought to engage and inform students and teachers through the integration of verbal and visual elements for organizations such as Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Pearson, National Geographic Learning, and Cambridge University Press.

I completed the graphic and digital design program at Parsons CPE in 2021, through which I gained fluency in typography, editorial design, branding, packaging, color theory, print production, user interface design, and graphic design history. I approach design more in terms of problem solving than as an outlet for personal expression, so I'm aiming to continue broadening a versatile set of skills and tools with which I can meet a client's needs.

In my spare time, I'm often creating some kind of disaster in the kitchen or exploring Northern California on foot.
