Seventeen years...

It's hard to believe we've been in business for seventeen years. We started out in the Nashville music and publishing industries—providing basic design for jobs their in-house or out-of-state agencies didn't have time to do. I remember working on a 500 page children's coloring book on an overnight bus that was driving through the cornfields of Illinois because it was steady work. We never turned down a job, worked many all-nighters and made many late night trips to the FedEx station at the airport to ship color proofs to a client out of state. All that hard work paid off in many ways—most importantly in relationships. From friendships with employees to mentoring from vendors, it has been a wonderful experience in every way. We've traveled the world shooting documentaries in China, Israel, Liberia, England and all over the United States.Working directly with big stars like Peyton Manning or humble entrepreneurs such as Bill Taylor have been rich experiences. Why the retrospective? As our economy struggles, we've all had to adjust our approach to business. In many ways we've had to revisit how we did things when we got our start. While it's not been easy, it has been fun and we look forward to what the future holds for our business, families, clients, vendors and community. We're very grateful for every person, experience and met deadline!
