My name is Devin Halladay, and I'm a multidisciplinary graphic designer, writer, and humanist.
I solve problems. I believe in the power of people, design, and critical thought to find simple solutions to complex problems. I value craftsmanship, curation, and quality thought.
I'm currently living in Baltimore, studying design at the Maryland Institute College of Art. I'm taking a critical look at design and social theory and working hard to apply them to my design practice.
I live and work according to four core tenets: learn the rules, promptly and mercilessly break them with spirit and intent, experiment relentlessly, and create fearlessly.
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.

Occasionally Absurd is a little newsletter I publish infrequently in which I talk to myself, and you, about things that are important to me.
