Freelance Typography

It is the typographer's job to be invisible by eliminating any chance for further refinement, to create a perfect crystal goblet out of typography. When done properly, it is not the typography that is noticed, rather it is the subject matter that is elevated.

I provide specialized knowledge in typography design by helping companies see that they can greatly improve their presentation without losing the overall look and feel of their original layout. 

Small adjustments can always be made to remedy fundamental errors in most typography layouts. I help you avoid typographical faux pas, which in turn elevates your entire presentation.

My strength is in print based design, where we can have full control over a tangible outcome. The sight and the feeling, even the sounds and smells, of a beautifully designed tactile object, such as a book or a deck of cards, is a special experience that the digital landscape can never replicate.

Let's work together on the types of projects that enrich our tactile world by blending a refined tactile beauty with layers of deeper meaning. 

I love getting the chance to look at new projects. Don’t hesitate to reach out anytime so that we can open a dialogue about your work.

Book Design

If you're self publishing a book, consider my freelance book design services. In addition to the overall typographical decisions that provide pathways to the overall look and feel of a book, I also consult with clients on all aspects of designing a new book, such as:

  • overall size and shape of the book
  • paper stock
  • binding method
  • general book layout
  • typesetting
  • cover design
  • acquiring an ISBN from Library and Archives Canada
  • acquiring a universally accepted bar code

Book design is one of the areas of typography that I enjoy the most. My dream job would be working for a local publishing company, typesetting new books. In the meantime, I'll be typesetting the books of smaller and indie publishers and writers.

I've also published a few books on my own to express some of my own unique ideas, which can be seen in our Published Books section.

Logo Design

Logo design is a typographer’s visual expression of a company’s branding and identity. It is important to combine design skills with mathematics in order to build an effective and memorable logo.

Contact me to discuss the art of logo design and how I can help you build an icon that says everything you need it to say.

During our time together, we'll discuss different iterations of the proposed logo, such as a simplified logo and an avatar, so you'll be ready with different solutions for a variety of future applications.

Typography Art

As an artist and typographer, typography is my art. I’d like to do a show at a small Art Gallery somewhere in Hamilton or Toronto. If I ever did, it would be filled with optical illusions created by typesetting the words of a book or a film script in unique and creative ways.

Contact me anytime to talk about about creating giant typographical pieces of art for your home, studio, or office walls.
