who is bk*

* My full name is Brooklyn Andrea King, but I got the nickname BK from fifteen years of softball. Brooklyn doesn’t really fly off the tongue quickly, so my name had to be abbreviated. Yes, I do get Burger King jokes all the time, but I guess I’ll let folks have it their way.

I am half deaf. I lost my hearing in a swimming accident when I was seven years old.

The only bone I’ve ever broken is my right foot big toe, and I broke it by falling down the stairs.

My favorite Star Wars film is Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and I can recite the Mustafar scene by heart.

HERE'S MY RESUME & PORTFOLIO *

THE ASTERISK

a character used in printing or writing as a reference mark as indication of the omission of letters or words to denote a hypothetical or unattested linguistic form or for various arbitrary meanings.

I use this symbol within my branding 1. For my love of typography! I think that’s one of the things I love most in design, and for some reason, I’m particularly drawn to asterisks (even though I don’t use them correctly half the time) 2. The asterisk is a reference mark used to note a hypothetical. The asterisk offers clarity! It’s versatile, attention grabbing, and a symbol of expansion; and 3. The word asterisk derives from the Greek word “asteriskos” meaning “little star” (which is the cutest thing ever!)
