The print business is alive and well! OtherDesigns was founded by Victor in 2006. He started out printing custom magnets and offering them online, and since then he has grown exponentially year-to-year. OtherDesigns now offers a full range of printing and design services to clients all over the world who turn to us because, Victor believes, he has created the perfect niche - fast service, low prices, and a personal touch. “I talk to people all the time who tell me they are using an online printer because they think it’s cheaper. The quality is so-so, but they think they are saving money,” he said. “OtherDesigns offers much higher quality, personal assistance and one-on-one service, and I can almost always match and often beat those prices.” Victor is a believer in customer interactions, constant communication and supreme customer service. Outside of work is he is a vintage posters collector, traveler and espresso enthusiast. Victor lives in Connecticut with his wife Einat and their two girls, Leah and Maya-Zoe.

Steve has been involved in almost every avenue of sales and relationship development, since his first job at “Everything Yogurt” at the age of 16. A graduate of Penn State with a degree in Marketing and of UCONN with an MBA, Steve brings with him a track record of over 30 years of successful sales and management experience to the OtherDesigns team. He’s held multiple positions in direct sales management, niche brand marketing and talent acquisition, with companies such as JCPenney, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and Hobson Associates. While consistently crushing his sales goals, Steve always kept his primary focus on building relationships and providing superior customer service. Hailing from Philadelphia, PA (and a HUGE Eagles fan), when he’s not on the road singing, at Church, or doing community service work with his Fraternity (Alpha Phi Alpha), he’s blessed to be in some type of family activity with his wife Carolyn and their two children, Sofia May and Roman Marcellus.
