The name LuzForm comes from an inspiring exchange semester spent studying design in Mexico City.
LUZ
Spanish (pronounced loose): light
FORM
English: the mode in which a thing manifests itself.
Everything we see is light. Form is what we make with the light.
Concerned with all aspects of the design process; developing the form and format, typography and the details of production, I value working collaboratively with clients, not imposing solutions but always guided by the work, allowing the project to evolve from the content and our discussions.
Working Together
“The ACA came to Stacey at LuzForm with a challenging task. The design of the association’s journal hadn’t been significantly updated since it started publication in the 1970s. We wanted to expand the journal’s reach and broaden its appeal, while maintaining readability and accommodating for the many footnotes common in academic writing. LuzForm did an amazing job — we’re so pleased with the gorgeous covers, consistently high level of production and Stacey’s attention to detail.”
Shyla Seller, managing editor
