From designer Ksenya Samarskaya comes this retro-inspired self-promo card. Previously having professional business cards go unused, I concocted these for informal settings. In a casual atmosphere the shared conversation tended to vary as I identified as a sometimes typographer, sometimes cipher, friend, pickler, cyclist or dinner curator.
