Zara Evens, Senior Designer at Punchcut, will present “Glance, Scan, Read: Typography for Mobile User Interfaces” at Justified West in Vancouver, BC.

Zara Evens, Senior Designer at Punchcut, will elucidate design criteria related to the ways users consume, communicate and share information on the go.

Zara will discuss the current challenges and opportunities of designing for mobile devices with emphasis on the role of typography. She will share opportunities for mobile-focused type design and discuss the foundational typographic considerations when designing small screen interactions.

Zara has focused her design career in creating digital user experiences. She brings a passion for type design and typography foundational to visual communication.
