Temper Books

Creative Director, Editor, Founder

Driven by a lifelong love of art books and a desire to create something deeply personal, I launched Temper, an independent art book imprint focused on thoughtfully crafted, limited-edition titles. After months of research and interviews with artists and publishers, I partnered with four photographers I admire and oversaw every detail—from editing and design, to paper stock, binding, and packaging. I also built the brand’s identity, website, and customer experience from the ground up, commissioning collectible art inserts and refining every visual element. All four titles sold out and were met with critical and customer acclaim. Though Temper had a finite run, it remains one of my proudest solo projects—an immersive blend of creativity, design, and storytelling through print.
