FirstLastFirst is the design identity of Illinois artist and designer Daniel Richardson. Over the past 15+ years he has designed, illustrated and art directed a number of projects across a range of media.

He prefers punk, folk and jazz, red wine, dark chocolate and black coffee. If he had to eat only one cuisine for the rest of his life, it would be Mexican. If he had 10 days off, you'd find him checking airfares to Barcelona. He finds inspiration in train rides, art galleries and conversations--imagined and actual.

And he is not a fan of closed doors, egos or incivility.
