I have been a design junky from the time I was in middle school.
I was forever drawing different designs that I thought were cool.
As I got older, I got even way more into it. Art classes became what I did with every elective in high school. I was also introduced to the screen printing business as a teen when I worked part time in a local printing business. This had a lot to do with the path I took toward a career. Initially, I had planned to do tattoo work as a way to make a living using my creativity. However, that part time printing job changed everything. I decided to go to tech school to learn more about the business of label, sign, poster and garment printing. Now, I have a great business that I am able to funnel all my creative juices into. What’s even better, I found a partner who feels the same way about the printing business. We just went deep and invested in some state of the art equipment. Our new system allows us to really be competitive and supply our vendors much more quickly. The Arrow System that we have allows us to do our printing with a one step heat transfer process. We just design, print and apply. The streamlining of the work flow is awesome. There is still the full 4 color process for all of our printing designs. This has expanded our promotional garment business significantly. And, the beauty part is we are able to do all of this practically from mere table tops. We are able to produce a much higher volume of product than we ever have before.
