Hi, I’m Nathaniel. I’m a graphic designer who specializes in book design, but for the right cause, I’ll design just about anything. I’m keenly interested in local, independent, and non-profit projects. I am currently an in-house designer at the Ann Arbor District Library and available for freelance opportunities. I write a newsletter about books, design, and creative practice.
