I’m Spence. I design, I draw, I write, I dad, I drum, I garden (and I always want to grow).
Designing out of my Baltimore studio, I have 20 years of experience with projects large and small, focusing on clean and clear results. Organizations I’ve worked with include The Baltimore Museum of Art, Johns Hopkins University Press, the Maryland Film Festival, Open Works, and the University of Maryland School of Public Health and College of Education. My work has been published in the books DIY: Design it Yourself and Graphic Design: The New Basics, and in Print magazine.
I’ve been a part of the annual design student portfolio reviews at Stevenson University since 2021, and taught workshops at Open Works.
I draw with pens and pencils, and with scissors and X-acto knives. While some pieces are for clients, some are meditative and personal. Others are gifts or experiments. Some were improvised quickly, without a sketch or prompt, while others were planned carefully. All are an opportunity to work off the screen and stretch a different creative muscle.
Instagram has more, and I also play drums in the popular band Father of the Year.
