Alejandra Porta

Alejandra Porta started a type and lettering series called Letting Go Project after attending a conference: spell the word out with things and write a blurb about how that word has affected me, and how I am letting it go. She says, “It was so liberating and empowering, and I got a lot of comments and personal messages on facebook and Instagram. I never thought I could connect with people that way!” Now, she’ll share her process of starting a lettering side project.

Puja Khurana

Puja is a graphic designer and type lover who is currently finishing her Master’s in Design at Emily Carr. She has been working on developing her thesis project which focuses on examining typography in the urban setting and developing ways to create a meaningful and interactive experience between typography, the city and its dwellers. In her talk, she plans to take us through her journey and showcase her latest developments.
