Isolation

An artist and designer by trade, Paul is smitten with a love of books. Through his design studio, Illustrada, he works with authors, artists, businesses, and indie publishers to create informative, expressive, and insightful design for their intriguing books. His work covers a wide range of cover and interior design projects, from hand-printed fine press books and other artist books, to commercial nonfiction, children's, poetry, and fiction projects with indie presses. Continuously curious about the world, his journey has taken him from science and engineering to photography and design, all in his quest to help open communication channels and get people thinking. Prior to starting Illustrada, Paul founded and managed the U.S. division of a German measurement instrumentation manufacturer, focused heavily on marketing and customer training. His work in publishing and editorial design started much earlier, moonlighting in design while simultaneously completing his Ph.D. in physics.
