Risograph printer & maker

Pulp Mill Pressroom risograph printer & maker working in Lisbon.

I make posters, zines, and small-run identities the slow way: one color at a time, paper warm off the roll. Most of it starts as a sketch taped to the wall and ends as a stack that still smells of soy ink.

About

A practice of one, by choice.

A two-ink studio run off a single drum machine — I draw, set, and crank everything by hand, in pink and blue, until the registration drifts just enough to feel alive.

I've spent the last decade in and around studios learning that the work I love most is the work I get to touch every part of — the brief, the sketches, the kerning at midnight, the press check. So now I keep things small on purpose.

When I'm not on a project you'll find me drawing letters that go nowhere, collecting paper I don't need, and teaching the occasional type workshop in Lisbon.

What I do
Risograph PrintingTwo drums, two inks, endless misregistration. I print the runs myself so the overprint stays honest.
Zines & EditorialFolded, stapled, hand-bound little objects built to be passed around, not framed.
Poster & IdentityLoud type, flat color, a mark that holds up at A2 and on a sticker the same.

The proofs came back slightly off-register and I asked them to keep it exactly like that. It made the whole thing feel hand-cranked.

Let's make something.

I take on a handful of projects each season. If you've got something you care about, I'd love to hear about it — a paragraph is plenty to start.
