Nathan Koskovich, AIA, talks with Graphic Designer and
Printer Lennie Mowris at her studio and workshop. Lennie's work in letterpress
illustrates the power of details in design. How small things, like how ink
finds its way on to paper, affect our understanding of an image, and of the
brand it represents. For her working in letterpress is not a nostalgic quirky whim,
but a means to achieving certain design goals.
Lennie combines more than ten years experience in the
natural health industry with a passion for merging tradition and innovation.
Through her independent studio, Lenspeace, she specializes in sustainable
design and brand strategy for small business, non-profit organizations,
artisans and individuals. Her Decatur-based printmaking workshop features two
vintage letterpresses and screen printing services for production of custom
brand collateral and unique dimensional art. As AIGA Atlanta Affinity
Programming Director, she develops educational and collaborative programming
focused on The Living Principles for Design, Women's Leadership and Diversity,
and Design For Good initiatives.
