Ted Kapner, owner and creative director, was immersed in a creative environment from a very early age. As the son of a theatrical costume designer, Kapner grew up at the drafting table. His creativity soon expanded into music, photography, custom auto & motorcycle fabrication, and of course graphic design.

Ted worked his way through college as a motorcycle technician, and graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in Marketing. He was immediately recruited by Toyota Motor Sales USA and went to work in their corporate marketing department. During his stint at Toyota, Ted had his first real opportunity to develop print ads for the Fleet Sales Department.

The next step for Kapner was into high-technology. Over a span of almost 11 years at a young semiconductor equipment manufacturing firm in San Luis Obispo, CA - Ted created and built an inside sales department and marketing infrastructure from the ground up. He also played an instrumental role in successfully attaining an ISO 9001 certification for the company. Ted engineered and managed direct sales and marketing strategies which included: producing company-wide collateral materials, new product launches, branding, advertising, web development, and tradeshow activities. During his tenure, annual sales grew from approximately $6 million to over $30 million!
