“My journey with printing began in 2018 when I founded a 3D printing business called Future 3D. Although this venture was short-lived, I enjoyed working with hundreds of clients on their creative projects and my own design skills improved as a result. After this, I worked at Warehouse Stationery for five years as a Copy Centre Specialist and Assistant Store Manager, which helped me gain experience with more traditional types of printers. 

I started Print Out in 2022 – originally using the name Impactful. This began as freelance graphic design business, but after purchasing my own equipment, turned into a small-scale printing business that I operate from home.

In my spare time, I enjoy physical activities like hiking and kayaking. I also currently work full-time as 3IC at Bivouac Outdoor in Christchurch.”
