She holds an MA in Typeface Design from the University of Reading (UK) and a BA in Visual Communications from Dublin Institute of Technology (Ireland). Her research focuses on the relationship between typography, language and personal expression, and this informs her practice as a typeface designer. She presents on her research regularly and internationally — most recently at TypeCon Seattle and ATypI Warsaw. She has written for Design Observer and Typographica and has worked as a type designer for Google WebFonts, Frere-Jones Type, and Hoefler & Co.
