Cobey Lusinger is a communication designer born and raised in the Texas Hill Country and currently based in Brooklyn. He likes to think about how written languages look and what their visual form can say beyond their semantic function.
        Cobey gets excited for publication and editorial design, motion graphics, film, and typeface design. He wishes to learn more about CG animation, copyright and IP law, American Sign Language, and the art of paper-making.
