Nic Schumann
Nic Schumann is a systems designer, computer researcher, and project manager. While studying computer science at Brown University, he founded a multidisciplinary design studio in Providence, RI, where he led a wide range of design projects for non-profit clients. He currently works full-time with Occupant Fonts–a research-oriented font foundry based in the USA and a division of Morisawa–to manage studio projects and prototype tools at the computational frontier of type drawing. In the margins of his time, he builds experimental simulations, participatory tools, and exploratory games, teaches occasional workshops at Rhode Island School of Design, and tries not to get distracted by how interesting everything is. He does math on weekends.
