Expert typesetting and design, with seamless print production for traditional print and all digital formats, I can take your project from manuscript to completion.
I am a Senior Typesetter specialising in non-fiction layouts like academic textbooks, multilingual dictionaries, coffee table books and educational resources. I help large publishers and independent authors manage their projects from initial manuscript to final production.
How I can help with your project:
Layout Design: I have an artistic eye for working to your design brief. Whether it's a clean coffee table book with a minimalist visual, or a children's school textbook, I can bring your vision to the page.
Advanced Typesetting: Expert mastery of Adobe InDesign to build clean, consistent long and short-form books using master pages and nested styles, to deliver professional results.
Pre-press & Digital Delivery: Full handling of asset prep in Photoshop and Illustrator, and final pre-flight checks for platforms like Amazon KDP, or traditional print.
Multilingual & Phonetic Typography: Seamless handling of dictionaries and language-learning books requiring strict text flow hierarchy, multi-script layouts, and specialised IPA phonetic fonts.
Legacy Font Migration & Troubleshooting: Resolving font compatibility issues by updating deprecated Type 1 PostScript fonts with OpenType alternatives without breaking your existing text wraps or layout flow.
Technical Illustration: Creating diagrams, graphs, and technical drawings directly inside Adobe Illustrator.
I'll look forward to providing a seamless, straight-forward and professional result on your project.
