DownHill Fonts was conceived to provide teachers with quality, time-saving classroom tools. The founder, Ramón Abajo, has worked as a classroom teacher in Los Angeles County and is currently an instructional software designer. Ramón experienced a need for uniform, easy-to-use computer software, which teachers could afford. He has assembled a team of colleagues who joined the considerable effort to make this vision a reality.

Ramón has worked in bilingual and English-only classrooms at the elementary and secondary levels. He has received many awards, including "Teacher of the Year" in 1990. He has worked as a high school technology coordinator and has played a key role in the "New Media Academy" in conjunction with the Los Angeles Workforce. He is an artist and free spirit who takes pleasure and satisfaction in fulfilling educational needs.
A frequent speaker at educational conferences such as CABE, Ramón brings a fresh approach to today's educational challenges.

Located in Hermosa Beach, California, DownHill Publishing is committed to quality projects and good design.
