Kaja Słojewska

Kaja Słojewska is a graphic-turned-typeface designer, currently living in lovely Vancouver, Canada. Having a background in traditional art and graphic design, during her BA studies at Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology she became fascinated with letterforms. This passion led her to study a Masters in Type Design at the University of Reading, which Kaja graduated with distinction in 2017. Shortly thereafter she has decided to become a full-time freelance type designer and start her own company, Nomad Fonts. Since 2018 Kaja is being mentored by the former Type Director of Monotype UK, Nadine Chahine. Her interest lies in researching harmonization between letterforms from a variety of different cultural backgrounds. Presently, she wants to focus on promoting openness and transparency in the field of type design. Being a designer at the beginning of her career, she wants to help others by sharing her experiences, and talking about fair compensation and treatment in terms of contracts and royalties.
