- About
- I have worked as both a designer and art director, working with both national and regional clients. Today, I collaborate with Widgets & Stone, helping coordinate and design the continuing implementation of innovative new brands. I also provide original photography to commercial and private clients as owner of Dotson Studios, and serve on the board of Chattanooga's chapter of the AIGA.
- Motivations
- I’m interested in the roles served by lettering in the public space. One is communicative, the second evocative—sometimes evoking a feeling of authority, other times a feeling of subversion, seduction, or persuasion. I seek out examples of typography in the public space, online, and in historical artifacts, drawing inspiration for solutions to both client work and student work.
