Us

I started Meme-Tech in 1998, after ten years of making t-shirts and such on my own. I’ve always been intrigued by technology, growing up around printing presses, early photocopiers, and computers. I remember a day out in a field, while putting hay on a wagon, seeing an excellent sunset, looking at the changing colors, and telling my brothers and dad that it would cool to be able to save those colors and put them into a computer and edit the picture. About a decade later, I walked into a college seminar introducing a brand new program called “Photoshop.” The first computer I ever wrote code for was a TRS-80. It loaded programs off of a cassette tape and a small one could still take 8 minutes. I remember when the color monitor was introduced, and it had FOUR different colors, sweet! I have seen a megabyte of memory in vacuum tubes that weighed one ton and took up a minivan. I think that we live in a golden age, and that we have never as individuals had more power to act in the world, both in a destructive or a creative way. I wake up every day, and marvel that I live in the future.

I am head of the vinyl department at Meme Tech. I handle cutting, peeling, and assembling all vinyl projects from heat-pressing numbers onto jerseys to installing large complex vinyl designs onto business store-fronts. Like everyone else at Meme Tech, I have been trained to do almost anything here. Starting off washing dishes and taking out the trash to eventually learn how an image is burnt onto a screen and how to print it on apparel. I am also part of Jahmerica, a small clothing line that a co-worker and I created. From all the experience given to us at Meme Tech we are able to design, output, and print or own ideas.

Hey yo, names jacob, resident new guy in the shop. Freshly graduated with a degree in computer graphic design. Pretty much apprentice level, helping do everything around the shop, being taught and learning for myself. Hopefully stepping up to more design work soon.

Play the drums in a band, YEARS AT SEA. pretty awesome.
Art has been my thing forever, figure itll be my thing for the rest of forever,

peace.

My name is Perp (or Alicia, whichever works for me) I am he newest crew member here at Meme Tech. Fresh out of school and ready to take on the world one project at a time.

Creativity has been flowing through my family for generations and it is now my turn to be the non-starving artist in our gene-pool. Here at the shop I will be the jack of all trades cleaning, printing, designing or everything all at once.

Aside from work I make stuffed animal called zOMGies, drink lots of coffee to fuel my brain and do other super cool things.
