Stuff

As a long-time self-employed person, I have many irons in the fire. One of my primary ways to make my living is through desktop publishing, book and magazine design. For years I shared a partnership owning a small business called “Typesetting Etc.” in San Francisco. In 2005 I went independent and started working out of my home under the name “Cloverleaf Productions” but as of 2012 I’ve dropped that too, and am just doing business as myself. Further down you can find a selected list of clients past and present.

I also peddle some of my creations, including books and bicycle “license plates”. Here are some links where you can purchase these by paypal and I’ll send them to you directly!
