Screen Printing
Whether it’s creating artwork, burning screens, or printing on the press, I know my way around a screen printing shop.
ThermoFlex Vinyl
When it comes to experience, I have an extensive background with designing around the limitations of 1-3 color graphics required for, cutting, and weeding heat pressed vinyl.
Sign Vinyl
Very similar to the heat applied vinyl, sticky sign vinyl is designed with similar limitations of simplicity. Though the applications are a bit different, the concept of the two is nearly identical.
Dark & Light Media Transfers
Dark & Light Media Transfers make the application of a complex multi-color or gradients in a photograph easy to print onto a T-shirt or Patch.
About you
Graphic & Web Designer
I studied Visual Communication Technology with a focus on Interactive media and Print at Bowling Green State University. I have had multiple Cooperative Education opportunities with Print companies including: Shirts, Signs, & Designs as well as Collegiate Connection.
Both of these companies are in the business of custom apparel. Working for these companies taught me the in's and out's of Screen Printing, heat applied Vinyl, Dark and Light Media Transfer Materials, and Sign Vinyl as well. I used a variety of design software including the Adobe Creative Suite and CADWorxLive and, unless it was screen printed, ultimately used a Plot Cutter to "print" the designs in order to apply them to garments.
I have learned much more than just how the different print processes work within these companies, I have also learned what is expected of each employee as an individual as well as in teams, what I can do to make the company stronger and more efficient, as well as how to make myself and other team members stronger within our field.
