Context
Layout work across multiple titles for a Lithuanian publishing house — memoir, family history, and fiction.
Role
Layout designer and print-production liaison. Page layout is half the job — the other half is making sure what comes off the press matches what was approved.
Aldona Kazlauskaitė Balsevičienė
A memoir from a ninety-year resident of Juodkrantė. The layout had to carry long-form personal reflection without breaking the reading rhythm.
Loreta Liutkutė
A young woman searching for her own truth, pushed into situations she didn't choose. The book confronts violence, isolation, and self-doubt, without losing its humor along the way.
Nijolė Kliukaitė - Kepenienė
A family history tracing the Kondratavičiai line through generations. The layout's job was clear hierarchy across genealogical density.
Edmundas Untulis
A memoir of a woman from Žemaitija, hardened by a life that never let her walk. Not a sad book — it turns her story into questions about existence itself. The layout kept it restrained, so her own words carried the weight.
The work that doesn't show in a portfolio is on the phone with a printer organizing the process, or going to the print house to check the quality of print in person. That's where books actually get well-made.
