Type and typography have become less of a theory for me and more of something that I can touch and feel - literally. I started out
on the smallest of my presses a Sigwalt No. 11 and worked my way up to larger things. All of my presses have been completely rebuilt
by me as they were acquired in less than ideal condition. My training and in experience in Graphic Design along with a firm understanding
of the proper use of type have given me an excellent foundation with which to make the leap to printing my own work. I am currently
happily printing custom wedding invitations, announcements, stationery, and greeting cards. In the future I am planning on acquiring
a Vandercook and expanding my catalog to include limited edition handmade books.
