1997 → 202630 years of making
Amir Cohen
Web designer, artist, laser engineer, book maker, teacher, judo instructor — and, above all, a student of Torah.
Designing the
early web
I began building websites when the internet was still handmade — tables, tiny graphics, browser quirks and animated buttons. Every layout was a small act of craft, and the thrill of making a screen come alive set the course for everything after.
After the dot-com years
From the screen,
back to my hands.
When the early web economy cooled, I returned to what I always loved — making real, physical things. That decision became Graphicatz.
Graphicatz
I built a full production line around laser cutting and machinery — hot sublimation, plexiglass cutting, signage and custom manufacturing. A workshop where ideas turn into material, heat and precision.

From keychains
to wall signs
As a laser engineer I built everything you can imagine — from the smallest keychain to intricate multi-layer models and large architectural wall signs. Each piece engineered, engraved and finished by hand.

Kodesh books &
3D books for kids
I designed and produced סִפְרֵי קֹדֶשׁ — holy books, children's 3D-glasses books, Torah tunes and learning products — blending design, print craft and a love of Jewish education.

Across America:
web & SEO
In 2013 my family moved to the United States and I founded Buffalo Booster — my own web design and SEO business — helping clients worldwide become visible and turn creative work into measurable growth. In 2020 we made Denver home, where I continue the studio and keep producing Jewish books.

Israeli judo
champion
On the mat I earned a black belt and became an Israeli judo champion in 1990. I'm certified by the Wingate Institute to teach judo — and I'm also a Krav Maga expert. I trained students of every kind, and those years taught me discipline, respect and patience.

Family — the heart of it all
Through every chapter there has been one constant. Married to my wife since 1995, together we are raising five children. We built our American life in Buffalo in 2013 and made Denver home in 2020 — where my wife teaches Judaic studies and Hebrew to kindergarten and first grade at the Denver Academy of Torah.
תּוֹרָה
Love of Torah
Above everything, I love Torah. I listen to and write the shiurim of Rabbi Baruch Rosenblum, I love חִדּוּשֵׁי תּוֹרָה, and I teach a group here in Denver — sharing clarity, depth and the joy of learning.
“Teach the chidush, share the light.” — what guides the Denver learning group
Listening & writing
I follow and write down the shiurim of Rabbi Baruch Rosenblum — returning to them again and again, and keeping my own written notes.
Chidushei Torah
I love uncovering original insights in the text, and sharing the spark of a new חידוש with others.
Teaching in Denver
I lead a learning group here in Denver, passing on the clarity, depth and joy of Torah.
Sofer STaM & Shochet
I'm also a certified Sofer STaM (Torah scribe) and Shochet — trained in the exacting halachic crafts of sacred writing and kosher שחיטה.
Let's make something
