About

Design that holds up on press

I bridge graphic design and the machines that put ink, varnish, and mark on real materials, from the first layout to a finished print run.

How I work

I work at the meeting point of graphic design and commercial print production. With a diploma in graphic design and nearly a decade on the shop floor, I treat artwork, pre-press, and the press as one job, not three hand-offs.

That means designing identity and layout, preparing print-ready files, calibrating multi-pass industrial machinery, and writing SOP manuals the team can actually follow so color, bleed, and finishing stay consistent from job to job.
