A Brief History of Design Solutions Screen Printing, Embroidery and Sign
Owner Todd got his first job in the sreen print industry in 1983 as a printer. For 7 years Todd became familiar with handling all aspects of the department and created some designs which generated a high volume of prints including many designs for the University of WI.
Todd later joined the team at Holoubek Studios in Waukesha, WI where he learned to handle artwork for t-shirts both manually and with the use of a computer working alongside screen print history giants like David Gardner, Vern Holoubek and for clients like Harley Davidson, Pierce, Budweiser, Disney and Summerfest.

199o-Something Art Crew
In 1992 Amy and Todd met at Holoubek and for 2 years worked on a variety of projects together with a number of other wild art types until 1994 when they both took other jobs... Todd as an art director for Demco, a Russell Athletic distributor and screen print house down in Chicago, and Amy as a designer for a music and book publisher.
In 1995 Todd and Amy got back together in Northern Wisconsin where Todd started up a freelance business called Design Solutions. But in 2003 decided to switch back to what he knew best and Design Solutions Screen Printing and Embroidery, Inc opened it's doors in February of 2003.
