Graphic design was Alex’s second biggest passion (after Research and Software Development) but in 2017 it became his main occupation. He is now the owner of SilverDot Minipublishing – specialised service for self-publishers.
Alex loves working with authors. Through the entire book production process – from manuscript proofreading to typesetting, book cover design and organising printing and binding – they experience individual and professional approach resulting in beautiful books they deserve.
