To be honest, Graphics Monkey started out as a joke.

Most pressmen in the old days of the print industry weren’t overly fond of designers. We’re always trying to push the limits, even in places with a lot of limitations (like the small prints shop I started out in) and that could create some tension. This, in-turn lead to some pre-press/press rivalry and some interesting nicknames. Designers were ofter referred to as “Graphic Disasters”, “Graphically Challenged” and my all time favorite... “Graphics Monkey’s”. Needless to say, that last one stuck and I’ve worn it as a badge of honor ever since.

A lot has changed in this industry since I first started. Graphics, multimedia and web design used to be separate fields. Now, they’ve melded together into an ever-evolving group. To stay competitive, we designers have had to evolve as well. It’s truly an exciting time in this field! The ever-growing capabilities of social media and e-commerce have opened so many new and interesting doors to designers.

We look forward to bringing these tools to all of our clients and helping them grow their brand in this ever-changing digital world.
