About GeekInk Design

I'm Eric, a self-proclaimed design geek with a love for type that's rivaled only by my love for cake. I've been a designer in the magazine industry for the past 12 years but spend all my free time on Minted challenges! I discovered this site in 2011 while hunting down inspiration for designing my own wedding invites. Since then, I’ve had a renewed love for design and enjoy seeing where my creativity takes me.

Thanks, Eric!! I think having 3 kids gave me a slight advantage ; ) I'm so glad I saw one of your vintage type designs get an editor's pick - keep up the great type designs!

You are toooo kind Eric! But I love the title, so I'll humbly except it : ) Your typography is truly fabulous, and I didn't realize all the great designs you've done that I missed! Congrats on the premium spot of your one wedding design. I bet it will be a big hit with brides and grooms. Keep up the excellent work, Eric!!

Hey, you might want to check out this new submission by http://www.minted.com/designer/alinavandawalker It's pretty much exactly the same as yours and she also has one that looks very much like Apacia's journal for sale... I already emailed minted but you might want to get in touch with them as well :-)

Hello. It's fine with me if you keep your design up. Like you said, they seem different enough, so it's not a big deal. But thanks for your consideration, it's much appreciated.
