A course by Alanna Flowers
Alanna Flowers es una artista de letras, diseñadora e ilustradora independiente con sede en Brooklyn, Nueva York. Primero se conectó con todo lo relacionado con la tipografía mientras estudiaba su Licenciatura en Bellas Artes en Diseño Gráfico del Instituto de Tecnología de Nueva York. Quedó fascinada con las diferentes formas en que se podían ilustrar las letras para transmitir todo tipo de significados y emociones. Alanna luego trabajó como diseñadora mientras hacía letras al costado. Cuando llegó la pandemia de 2020, Alanna se dio cuenta de que las letras eran su verdadera pasión y se dedicó a ello a tiempo completo. Desde entonces, ha trabajado con American Greetings, Adobe y Los Angeles Times.
