NATE PIEKOS graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Design from Rhode Island College in 1998.

In 2001 he became type designer to Harvey Award Winner, Mike “Madman” Allred, and has had his designs licensed by such companies as Microsoft, Six Flags Amusement Parks, New Yorker Magazine, The Gap, and many more.
