Tiffany Wardle is Typegirl and she loves type.

Tiffany Wardle, aka “typegirl”, is a typographer and graphic designer currently living and working in San Jose, California. After graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Graphic Design from Brigham Young University, she worked in magazine design in New York City. However, the drone of the rat race wasn’t fulfilling and the call of teaching was too strong, so she returned to her native Utah to teach as an adjunct professor in Graphic Design at BYU. After a few years, Tiffany changed her life once again when she found she couldn’t resist the lure of graduate school, and promptly moved to Reading, England and earned her Master of Arts in the Theory and History of Typography and Graphic Communication from the University of Reading. She hasn’t looked back since. Her words have been published in STEP Inside Design, Interrobang (A SOTA Publication), Indie Fonts III, and TypeCulture and she has been a board member for the Society of Typographic Aficionados and a contributing volunteer for the Association Typographique Internationale. Tiffany is also a moderator at Typophile and probably spends too much time there.

Why is Tiffany using light gray and Helvetica? Light gray because she thinks it is the perfect online foil for all the other flavor she might want to throw at the page. Helvetica because the font she’d really prefer to be using would require and extended license and she doesn’t have that much money right now. Be patient at least until Tiffany plays with her CSS again.

Come back soon because she will be adding her portfolio and possibly even a blog!
