CustomInk Helps Grant a Wish for Aspiring T-shirt Designer


In October 2015, CustomInk and Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic granted the wish of an Arizona teen, whose wish was to design t-shirts with us! Eric Hans, who has autism and a form of Muscular Dystrophy, made the trip to the east coast to be an honorary ‘Inker’ for two days and bring his wish to life.

First, Eric visited CustomInk’s headquarters in Fairfax, where he had orientation (including having his headshot taken, receiving the grand tour and meeting CustomInk CEO Marc Katz) before sitting down at his desk with the art team and getting to work designing t-shirts.

Eric then headed to CustomInk’s In-house Production Facility in Charlottesville for a continued tour, and to personally print the t-shirts he designed!
