Fall is Here – Helping You Reach the Finish Line 🍁

Dear PhD,
We want to thank everyone who attended our recent live workshop! It was a great success, and we loved sharing ideas and options for making your thesis unique.
As fall settles in, many of you are gearing up for a big milestone: your defense. For those defending soon, we wish you the best of luck – you’re almost there, and we’re here to help make your thesis special.
At Ridderprint, we’re busy wrapping up projects before the holidays. If your defense is coming up, please get in touch or request an offer so we can plan ahead together. Starting early means we can create a thesis that truly shows your journey, with custom design options and sustainable choices.
Looking forward to supporting you!
Warm regards,
The Ridderprint Team
