I had the pleasure of meeting Shannon at Four Ambition's open house. It was an awesome space located in a refurbished factory building off Linden Ave. Shannon was screen printing free shirts for everyone there and he was also entertaining questions about screen printing and Four Ambition. Unfortunately, I was a complete bum and had no insightful questions to ask him at the time. Despite me being tongue tied then, he was kind enough to answer my many questions for today's SoOh Spotlight. Thanks Shannon!
Tell me a little about your work; and what do you enjoy most about it?
We offer screen printing, embroidery, and graphic design services to businesses, design firms, and pretty much anyone who could use printed apparel. I love getting to see new designs come in and we also get to help out other entrepreneurs who are just getting started with their ventures!

Anything else you would like to share about yourself, your work or Southern Ohio?
Just if you or know of anyone who needs decorated apparel, hit us up! And that Southern Ohio is awesome! You can have the urban city life here but drive 15 minutes and you can be hiking through the woods and connecting with nature. I think that's what I love most about Dayton.
Nice pictures! You've been stepping up your game.
ReplyDeleteGood post too, I'm the same way though, when confronted with someone to talk to I totally lock up. I like email interviews much better.
No no, those aren't my photos. I should have made that more clear!
DeleteSadly, my game is the same. I do plan on joining a photo club to help me improve though.
Email interviews are my favorite. I've been really fortunate to have so many great people agree to do them :)
