Meet your instructors! - Corey Biasini
My story begins after we sold our Dry-Cleaning business. This was the beginning of our quest to find a new venture. Previously, my father and I had entertained the idea of becoming screen printers. We spent countless hours doing extensive research on the business. By this point we knew all the ins and out of the screen-printing business, and we were ready to buy a business. Yet, we were unable to come to an agreement with any of the potential sellers. It wasn’t until February 2018, that we made the decision to purchase RELIK INK. One year later and we have no regrets. We are extremely happy with our purchase and enjoying our new positions in the company.
Art was and still is my passion. I grew up making designs on paper that were very well received by people around me. I loved having the ability to create new images and people told me I was talented. Yet, I did not know how to tap into that talent and pursue it further. Then I discovered screen printing. Once I researched it, I realized that it could reach an limitless amount of people. I realized that the opportunities to spread my art were endless. Think about it- screen printing is something that can be applied to all types of businesses; hence it can make an impact in multiple markets. My art could make an impact on essentially anyone. Just to list a few industries: sports, music, food, automotive, and fashion, those are all possible clients. Even religious establishments can benefit from screen-printing. With the unlimited subject matters that can be screen printed, the use for my art is infinite. I have finally found a business that gives me the opportunity to spread my art and allows me and my family to make a decent living.
Honestly, this year has been challenging. Fortunately, it has also been fun and fulfilling. I am lucky enough to make a living doing what I love, and for that I am grateful. We may only have one year under our belt, but we are very good at what we do. We have a vision for this company- we want it to thrive. This takes a lot of hard work and dedication. We are constantly learning and evolving. We have taken advantage of all the resources available online. As time progresses, we have more experiences and our knowledge increases. We find a great deal of satisfaction in reaching all our goals and making our customers happy. We are passionate about what we do, and we believe that our work represents that. This is what makes us successful. Every t-shirt is a unique work of art. I am thrilled when I see my designs worn by my customers- this is what drives my dedication.
In the future, I have plans to create my own brand. I intend to expand my business by going into on-line sales. I will infiltrate the online market and expose even more people to my products via Facebook, Instagram, and specialty stores’ websites. Obviously, this will go hand in hand with an increase in personnel. We plan to hire more people for sales and marketing.
We might be small, but we think big. This is our story- tune in next year to see where our journey has taken us.
