For almost fifteen years I’ve had Copper Case Design. My little graphic design studio works for non-profit organizations and aspiring entrepreneurs to create materials that connect them to their people. I love telling visual stories and I love learning about all the varied and great things my clients do.
Why Copper Case?
The name of my studio is a nod to different aspects of me and my work. I love the natural transformation of copper, especially as it oxidizes with time and changes from a beautiful copper brown to a vibrant turquoise color. The word 'case' is a nod to two ideas: first, it honors my love of typography and the history of printing. In the days of movable type, metal or wood characters were kept in separate cases (upper & lower) to make typesetting easier. In that sense, this is my own 'case', where I document my work, where I can reflect on its evolution, and where I can share it with others. More importantly, ‘case’ references my fundamental belief that we all exist beyond our bodies—beyond our own cases. This time around mine happens to be copper.
