Ann Miller
Winter CSP Instructor
BioA native of the Bay Area, I studied painting and lithography at Stanford University and subsequently instructed in art at Stanford, the University of Santa Clara, San Mateo Community College, Academy of Art University, and San Francisco Center for the Book.
At Stanford I studied with Richard Diebenkorn, Nathan Oliveira, Frank Lobdell, George Miyasaki, Dan Mendelowitz, and Lorenz Eitner and am immensely grateful for the teachings of Swiss type designer André Gürtler.
I opened my M2 Design Studio in 1979 and have been designing and illustrating ever since. I offer calligraphy and lettering solutions for almost any purpose, and have produced properties for multimedia presentations such as NBC’s television series "Who Do You Think You Are?” and handlettered murals for the large walls of the City of Belmont Library. I pioneered online courses for Academy of Art University in San Francisco and developed 15 popular workshops on the calligraphic method.
I enjoy opening doors to students so that they will move forward to enjoy and use the art of markmaking.
