AIGA Pittsburgh welcomed Pittsburgh-native, and now Chattanooga-based designer, DJ Trischler as the kick-off lecture for Typography Month.
A graduate of La Roche College’s Graphic Design program, DJ Trischler worked under Paul Rustand, AIGA Fellow, at Widgets & Stone, after which he relocated to Chattanooga in 2007. After a few years of freelancing, he and Jonathan Mansfield started D+J Brand Consulting.
Taking on a variety of design projects, D+J specializes in brand consulting and identity development. D+J launched a grass-roots initiative and partnered with typeface designers Robbie de Villiers and Jeremy Dooley to successfully make Chattanooga the first American city with a custom typeface, Chatype.
