Since 2013, I’ve given lectures at museums, universities, conferences, and festivals on my work as a designer and for Art of the Title. Topics have included title design and motion graphics, book design, and illustration.
I've done talks for the Smithsonian American Art Museum, South by South West (SXSW), AIGA Design Conference, London College of Communication, Falmouth University, CalArts, OCAD University, and others.
