Public Matter is a graphic design practice and archival library kept by three people.
We run the archive, take commissions, and look after the collection.
the archive is endless. we keep what is worth keeping, and decide, slowly, what is ready to go public. We are not the collector. their name is not ours to share.
we are tasked with bringing to light the objects that are ready to be discovered.
The commissions are work we take for others:
we build worlds for brands, festivals, artists and products.

Description
raised in small town texas, lived in los angeles for 84 months, now works from wherever there’s coffee. the only girl on her 6th-grade tackle football team, previously handed out demo CDs from her backpack, has broken her arm seven times.
some would say she’s a jack of all trades.
clumsy but responsible, kk splits her time between producing creative projects and managing recording sessions/music events FOR COMPOSERS, ARTISTS and more. kk can be easily manipulated by a fun drink, a deep conversation about the universe, or your hot take on the latest BRAVO DRAMA.
