The idea for starting the company came while Andreas was attending the University of Florida and saw how easy it was for students to compromise design or shirt quality because of the uncreative vendors that students worked with and the poor experience they had to go through due to industry standards of the ordering process. 

Improving the low industry standards has required a combination of talent in technology, graphic design, apparel design and manufacturing. In each of these spaces, the company put its sole focus on the customer and making their experience easier, transparent, and fun. 

Although more than just college apparel these days, Graphic Empire still brings the same values that sparked the start of the company to all of its projects. Seeing the positive reactions from customer becoming ignited-or as we say inknited-by the contribution they bring to their projects is makes it easier for them to put 150% effort every time.
