SELECTED WORK
Dutch Mafia Project: Self Promotion
October 2013 - Dutch Mafia selected by a jury to appear in Typography Annual 4. Will show up in the January/
February issue of Communication Arts. Also, featured on Typography Served and AIGA Member Gallery.
The Dutch Mafia font and icon set was born from my experiences growing up in a Dutch immigrant family in a
predominately Dutch community in Ontario, Canada. The letterforms and symbols recall the unique traditions
and images of my childhood, including delft pottery, Sinterklaas, oliebollen, wooden shoes, and mini windmills
sitting out on front lawns as garden ornaments.
The Dutch Mafia font and icon set was a self-initiated project. I wanted the style to be simple, ornamental in
nature, and amusing--the sarcasm with which it illustrates Dutch culture is completely intentional. At its heart,
I hope the font and icon set conveys my enjoyment of, and fondness for, Dutch cultural traditions and objects.
