Lately it's become even more freeform, though I'm still interested in both these areas.

About Me

natcase
Minneapolis, MN, United States
In May of 2013, my wife Ingrid and I formed INCase, LLC to support our professional work of writing and design, and I left Hedberg Maps after 22 years as head of production. In my non-professional life I am a member of Twin Cities Friends Meeting and Laughing Waters Preparative Meeting, and Ramsey's Braggarts morris dance team, and organize sings at Merlins Rest pub in Minneapolis.
