I developed and grew this full-service graphic design firm specializing in wide format printing, signs, and vehicle graphics. I sold the company to new owners in 2014. During my ownership, I created comprehensive ORYX branding (logo, print materials, signage, vehicle graphics, social media, and web site. I consistently sought out new business relationships while nurturing existing clientele, and I enhanced supply chain procurement to select the highest quality materials at most competitive prices. I'm happy to say that I provided recent college graduates with a training path to become full time graphic designers and sign makers.
