Andrew haslam • Author of bookdesignMy design stories began as early as I can remember; I grew up surrounded by paper, ink, and massive Heidelbergs, which fostered my deep love for books and offset printing. That’s why I have named this repository of stories The Pilcrow. In this space, I share design insights with my students, celebrate their successes, and provide updates about my teaching career at Baylor University, my professional practice, and new projects at Legacy79. I also use this platform to share experiences, events, and hobbies, as well as to connect with clients, colleagues, and students. It’s also a place where I experiment and practice my writing, hoping to write a book or two when the time is right.
I am also a foodie, and my second passion in life is the joy of excellent cuisine and cooking. Therefore, it is no surprise that, in addition to sharing design stories, I also use this space to share some of my favorite recipes that I enjoy preparing.
