Hello!

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Mara Zepeda.  I believe that writing by hand matters.  I was very much inspired by the legacy of Lloyd Reynolds at Reed College, my alma mater, and started pursuing calligraphy as a student.  I've studied Copperplate and Italic calligraphy in New York and Philadelphia. Ultimately, I was drawn to work that conveyed the character of the person attached to the hand, and so Neither Snow was born. I'm currently based in Portland, Oregon. 

Since opening the studio in May 2009, I've had the pleasure of designing work for wedding invitations, place and escort cards, corporate identity and logos, tattoos, family trees, greeting cards and editorial design, among many other projects.  My clients include Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Nike, Samsung, Tiffany & Co., Wieden+Kennedy, Hallmark, One King's Lane and Urban Outfitters. 

If you'd like to work together, contact me! You can learn more about my other lives here.
