Gerben Dollen's Summary
I like to solve problems and make client's lives easier, rather than inventing for the sake of it. I'm driven by an obsessive attention to detail; ranging from perfecting the smoothest curve, to creating the perfect finish by seeking out the precise colour and stock for print. I strive for continuous improvement, each project I raise the bar, and increase the quality of my products. I relish a new challenge, so how can I help you?
Specialties
Printed matter (mainly books), typeface design and typography. Good eye for detail!
