Knowledge + Experience = Results

I’ve served clients with a wide range of skills including project planning, vendor sourcing and print coordination, help finding collaborative editors, cover design and production, interior design and production, image coordination (original photos, stock image licensing and retouching, and illustration art direction), and more.

Kim Seeling Smith

AUTHOR, SPEAKER, CONSULTANT

“I met Robert when I wrote my first book. I needed a designer and had no idea where to turn. Robert and I worked really well together on that project. He clearly got the visuals for what I wanted to portray through my words. Since then (2014) I’ve used Robert to help me with two website redesigns, training manuals and marketing materials. I can highly recommend his work and now value him as a friend as well.”
