Hey!
Hope you are doing well! Lea might sound familiar to you. I already interviewed her briefly when she explained her interactive letters project, developed in my Modular Type Design workshop. But who is Lea? Born in New York City and raised between NYC and Buenos Aires, Lea Naisberg is a graphic designer currently working at SMLXL in Barcelona and the founder of Creative Coding NYC. With a background in Computer Science and a self-taught practice in creative coding, she brings a methodical yet exploratory mindset to typography, using code to push visual systems into playful, unexpected territory. Our paths first crossed during her Master’s at Elisava, where the interactive project she developed in our type systems workshop went on to win a Type Directors Club award in New York. Now, she is joining the School of Systems to lead a two-day workshop on interactive, moving type using p5.js. In this interview, we talk about bridging the gap between rigid logic and experimental design, how user interaction alters the meaning of text, and how traditional designers can get past the initial fear of writing code.
