What makes Booksmart Studio different?

Booksmart Studio is different for many reasons. One of the most important reasons is our passion.  Eric Kunsman, founder of Booksmart Studio, holds multiple degrees in photography, and a Masters of Science in Electronic Publishing from the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester NY. Eric also holds a Masters of Fine Arts in Book Arts and Printmaking from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA. His first hand artistic experience and devotion is displayed in the quality of the work Booksmart Studio produces.


Our passion isn't limited to our founder, as all of our digital specialists and printmakers are practicing artists as well. Many also hold Fine Art degrees. This distinction allows us to understand first hand the anxiety of turning over your work and passion to another person for completion. Being practicing artists allows us to collaborate with you on a personal and understanding level, as you travel throughout the bookmaking or fine art printing process.

Mark Nacey is Booksmart Studio's Print Specialist, Mark graduated from Rochester Institiute of Technology with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Professional Photographic Illustration majoring in Advertising Photography.


Our creative resources do not end there, our crew is small but talented.
