The HUB Print Shop at RIT is a full-service print and design operation. Services include Offset printing, digital printing, pre-press & design services, screen printing, wide-format, archival scanning, and binder or finishing services. I was initially hired at The HUB to take on a customer service and file preparation role, however, I quickly found myself responsible for the concept and execution of posters, coupons, and advertisements for the print shop as my managers discovered my design abilities. Within a few months, my responsibilities became exclusively design related. I also learned how to use the printers, laminators, and bindery tools to finish my projects exactly as I intended.
