  • Hello from Steff in Lancashire

    Posted by Steff Davison on 9 March 2014 at 07:08

    Hi my name is Steff. I started my graphics business 2 years ago with a 2nd hand summa 120D and a 6ft work bench, I dropped out of university to run my business full time 18 months ago.
    Am about to move into my first unit so its scary but exciting times ahead.

    P.S.
    Thanks mum xxx you’re going to get your house back.

    Steff

    Welcome Steff. What was your area of study at university? What drew you to making signs?

    I was studying performing arts. A friend of the family, who was a commercial artist/graphics designer for 40+ years, said if he had one regret from his many years in design, it was that he had never produced the designs he worked on for the graphics/ printing industry ( he told a few stories to illustrate the point, but there’s not enough room here 🙂 ) . My father asked me if I would like to try designing and producing something, and bought me the used Summa cutter. It just progressed from there.
