How THe Graphic Brand Started:

In April 2013, Ashleigh decided to take a leap of faith and start her own business, The Graphic Brand.  She invested in what she knew best: printing t-shirts, purchasing a DTG M2 printer and all the equipment necessary to get into production. She started off with a bang and had orders lined up, and hasn't slowed down one bit! TGB happily serves many businesses, organization, and schools in the Wabash County area, and is the go to for Manchester Squire Apparel! What started out as a 12x12 room in her first home, has evolved into a beautiful shop with a newly added storefront. The Graphic Brand now offers everything from all brand design needs to custom apparel!

​Ashleigh began her career in graphic design during high school through various art classes, but mostly through leadership roles on the yearbook staff.  Ashleigh earned many honors for her leadership, drive, and commitment to the award-winning production. By the time her senior year rolled around, she knew her passion was graphic design. Ashleigh and her twin sister, Meghann, graduated as Co-Valedictorians from Manchester High School in June 2009.

The following fall, Ashleigh began her journey towards a Communication Arts and Graphic Design degree at the University of Saint Francis.  She also kept her interest in starting her own business, leading to a minor in Business Administration.  By the end of her career at USF, Ashleigh was awarded Outstanding Achievement in Communication Arts and Graphic Design, Judge's Choice in the Fort Wayne Advertising Federation Addy Awards, and a Gold Award at the AdFed District Level.  She graduated in May 2012 with Highest Honors! She then set off on her first business venture as an 
entrepreneur, creating... The Graphic Brand!
