FAQs

Do you handle printing?
While I don’t offer printing, I ensure files are prepared for print.
Can you design interactive digital publications?
While I focus on design, I also offer copywriting and editing services. With a published short story and a novel manuscript in progress, I bring a strong storytelling background to craft compelling narratives and refine content that aligns with your brand and connects with your audience.
