I was born on September 12, 1976 in Krems, Austria. At early age, I was introduced by daddy's "Letraset Handbuch Grafik Design" to the wonderful world of type. I would be lying if I said I always wanted to become a designer, but after graduating at a Secondary College of Engineering, I knew Graphic Design was the only way for me to go. Recently I rediscovered what fascinated me as a kid drawing glyphs out of the Letraset book. I now find type the only thing that can be as beautiful as music can be.
