David Jon Walker:
Shining Light on Truth through Hand Lettering and Persistency

In this episode, John Kudos chats with David Jon Walker, a designer and lettering artist producing politically-charged work as a Black designer with 3 kids, a stylus, and a French bulldog.


David shares his journey from a designer in Nashville TN to a tenured professor and an Arts Fellow at Yale School of Art. His exhibition, “Shining Light on Truth”, spotlights the buried knowledge about the roles of the enslaved and free Black people in creating New Haven and Yale.
