Text Design and Typesetting

Every text presents its own set of challenges for design, whether it's experimental verse or a seemingly straightforward book of prose. Lists, figures, tables, extracts, and notes sections can complicate a scholarly text. I make sure the text design deals with such challenges gracefully, putting the experience of the reader first.

Cover Design

A cover is the reader's first encounter with the book's concerns and interests, and must make the impression the author wants. I work closely with authors and publishers to come to a concept that illustrates the themes and tone of the text while making an aesthetic impact.

Custom Letterpress

Due to the amount of time and level of care involved in its creation, a letterpress document can provide a flourish and cherished take-home gift to a special event. At the Western New York Book Arts Center, I've made broadsides for numerous events, including poetry readings and weddings.
