I started Studio Image Inc in 2001. It originally began as a creative design firm specializing in retail environments that brought spaces to life through color, signage, and décor. Over the years, the company has evolved into a multi-faceted brand, introducing innovative product lines such as Chalk Ink® Markers, The Safety Marker®, and Studio Image Creative. Building on decades of design and product development expertise, Studio Image Creative is a modern gifting company focused on creating sustainable, memorable gifts that leave a ever lasting impression.
