Typography is a huge part of my life as a designer. Studying type has completely changed the way I look at and interact with design. It is one of the foundational elements of all graphic design, and it is something that should not be underestimated or overlooked. Many times type becomes an afterthought to a design and is just tacked on at the end, but I believe type should be one of the first things to consider when starting a design.
One of my main ideas behind starting Ugmonk was to merge my love for typography and my passion for t-shirt design. This idea is not necessarily something new and has certainly been done before, but I wanted to bring a fresh approach to the industry and create a unique style that integrates these two elements. I hope to explore many new ways of combining the exciting t-shirt medium and the delicate art of typography.
