Paraclete Design — Local services in Orleans

I knew at once that I was in very good hands at Paraclete Design on the day I brought in my mother's journal of handwritten poems. I sought ideas to print it for my family. It was warmly recognized immediately as a "family treasure."

I am most appreciative of Sr. Anna Hope's keen eye for design to gently embellish the pages and for a lovely photo layout depicting my mother "through the years." It was most helpful to select a few designs from a myriad of options. Her detailed work on the print aspect enhanced the clarity immensely. Thank you too, Sr. Brigid Minor, for your insights and for keeping the project flowing smoothly.

Working with the Paraclete Design team is a wonderful collaborative experience! As the author, in collaboration with my illustrator, the design team came together to bring our vision and their expertise to the design, layout and launch of my first picture book.

As a poet, my expertise is verbal, not visual aesthetics. I hired Paraclete Multimedia to do a cover and interior design for my collection upon publishing it in book form, and I really could not imagine being happier with the result than I am. I had multiple options at every step, multiple chances to review and change my mind, and through it all Paraclete was kind, helpful, and excellent at their jobs. I am giving the fifth star, which I do not often do, because their communication was clear, their patience and kindness unperturbed, their bargaining up front with no surprises, and their eye for detail and proportion exactly what I needed. They went above and beyond my explicit instructions when it was helpful, but followed them to a 't' when needed, and I would suggest them to anyone needing...
