I'm Armina Ghazaryan, a freelance graphic designer (2009-2023) with an interest for typography and branding, occasional letterpress practitioner and overall curious person, based in Ghent.
In 2008, I joined the printing team at the Museum of Industry (BE), where I design/typeset posters using wood/metal type, catalog the museum's wood type collection and give workshops.

Proud owner of FAG proof press and a modest collection of wood type. Between 2017 to 2020 I run a printmaking studio Letterpress Corner based in Ghent where I offered workshops and print work on demand.

From 2024 working at the Museum of Industry in Ghent.

Do you have any questions feel free to drop me a line and I will get back to you soon armin(at)typeand.press
