Corey Zev Holland

Designer — All of the Above

 
About Me
Design came to me little by little. It started in high school with the school newspaper and literary magazine; I was the only person who knew how to make the computer work. As an ex mathematics major with a technolust, the sciences of design and typography are everything I could want to work with every day. Give me a problem to solve and I'll be in my element for sure.

What's shaped me?
Since receiving a computer in grade school I have constantly been consuming content. While I spent hours playing games, using the encyclopedia, surfing the web, and chatting with people. I was unwittingly absorbing these interactions as fuel for my future. Those experiences have made user interaction design almost a second nature to me.
Adjectives to describe me:
Nerdy, techy, determined,
active, & unique.
Who inspires me?
An odd collection of designers feed my creativity. I like the control which the swiss designers demonstrate. Focusing on the typography as the strength of their designs. Though designer Chip Kidd inspires me as well, breaking the grid when needed. His approch to design is similar to a scientist's. It's like solving a problem.
