– Call Me RemY –
I am a graphic designer from Chicago. I began my career in 2007 at the world-famous Museum of Science and Industry. I’ve learned that all good design has one thing in common: legibility. Unsexy as it sounds, this has been the tentpole of my design work. My job is to make sure information is clear, easy to find and fun to look at.

I write. I love writing. Creating characters and narratives and universes with their own rules and machinations is an unparalleled experience. Using those pieces to craft a coherent and satisfying narrative is the closest to godliness one can feel.
I'm also into film making, music and podcasting. Listen to the “I Made You A Mixtape” podcast on iTunes and my Merry MixMas DJ sets on Mixcloud. Don’t forget to rate, subscribe and leave a review.
