ABOUT THE PRESSROOM
The Pressroom is a creative studio where pixel-perfect digital design and antique letterpress technology meet and mingle.
Most of the letterpress work is done on a C&P platen treadle press from 1885. We use antique type and forms or can order modern custom-cast photopolymer / metal plates from digital files. We also do small-run foiling work, hybrid letterpress and digital design, personal stationary and business cards, package prototyping, as well as digital projects large and small. The benefit of being a small boutique is that there are no print run minimums and every job is bespoke.
Because this is an active production studio, we regret that the press area isn’t generally open to the public and access is by appointment only.

Whether you're a digital DIYer who just needs a little guidance, a computer-shy genius who wants to reach an international audience, or a passionate business person who needs to hand-off creative tasks so you can focus on the big stuff, I'm here for you! With 15 years of experience working for the big boys in the Seattle tech scene, and another decade working for independent businesses and organizations all over the valley, I've developed a wide range of technical and project management skills that I use to help independent businesses, artisans, creatives, organizations, and non-profits shine.
For well-defined projects, I usually build out a project quote based on your specifications which we review and agree to before I start. If you are seeking design or printing services with complex requirements, please book a Project Scoping Meeting. As hard as we try to avoid it, sometimes requirements evolve. If you initiate changes to the project after we begin, costs will change accordingly. For ongoing work, I use a bill rate and invoice weekly with terms due upon receipt. You'll be billed in quarter-hour increments with a half-hour minimum.
