My specialties are books, magazines, newsletters, technical reports — projects where tight organization aids clear communication. I take pride in the page design of both fiction and non-fiction books, valuing legibility and ease of use.
I am able to create .pdf, .epub, or .mobi ebook versions from books that I have designed and built for print. (I can also create ebooks-only, from manuscript without going to a print version first.)
I also build advertising materials to coordinate with book projects as needed. And I have clients for whom I create only advertising pieces (such as political candidates from a neighboring city).
