Introducing the newest member of Elevated Press…

We've got a new intern here at Elevated Press!  Her name is Lan, and she's a talented designer and illustrator with a desire to learn all about letterpress.  She also blogs about all kinds of wonderful inspirations:  art, design, fashion, food, color...  which is something that we hope she'll be able to help us out with on our blog as well.

Now here's Lan to introduce herself...

Hello! I am very excited to have landed an internship with Elevated Press and am looking forward to my time here. I love the tactile and physical properties of letterpress; with everything going digital, it's nice to have something that you can hold in your hands. It'll also be nice to step away from the computer for a bit and actually make and think with my hands.

When it comes to design and illustration, I am drawn to things that are simple and clean. I like basic shapes (I am very fond of the circle...it's probably my favorite shape), textures, and flat colors. Outside of design, I enjoy baking (I am known for my raspberry buttermilk cake and zucchini bread), tennis, biking, and hitting up thrift stores with my friends. My greatest fear is having my teeth fall out.
