Prepress
Working at Boxcar since: April 2015
A typical day: My typical day starts off by getting coffee, then I’m off to tackle Boxcar and Bella Figura/Smock jobs. Every job is different so I’m always interested to see what’s next. Once the files are set up and good to go, they go to film and I send them off to platemaking. Step and repeat with some added extras.
Background: I grew up in Floyd, NY (some people actually know where that is) and have been happily married since 2010. Art has always been a part of my life. I started drawing in my childhood, did illustration all the way through my first 2 years of college and then got into graphic design. I went to MVCC and SUNYIT for college. I then entered the world of digital print production. I have 8 years experience of large format printing underneath my belt. Designing, printing and installing a job from start to finish really opened my eyes on how to make things work. Blending letterpress and digital here at Boxcar has expanded my print knowledge even more.
Prized possession: Family, friends and the passion for cars.
A cause you believe in: Fundraisers of any kind.
A little known secret: We have our own garage.
Important book: The Bible
