Started in 2003 by owners Juli Rogers and
Dave Ramirez, R Design & Printing are on a steady rise
to becoming one of the top companies in the city.
While the printing business in Columbus is as you
may expect, HIGHLY competitive, R Design & Printing
has had absolutely no trouble staying afloat. As a
matter of fact it would be safe to say they are excelling
far beyond that.
So what is it that makes R Design so successful?
Three things. Experience. The knowledge of how to grow.
Customer service and Relations.
1) Experience
2) Customer Service
3) Attention to detail. Treating all jobs as if they were our own.

one day and says, "I think I want togo into the printing business," says Dave Ramirez on the topic of building experience. Take Juli Rogers, for example. She originally started as a glass-blowing major at the Columbus College of Art and Design (CCAD), that is, until a Friend talked her into choosing Another field that would be more suitable as a profitable career. You guessed it, Graphic Design. After leaving CCAD Rogers went on to work for the now defunct Trading Times newspaper where she learned the nature of deadlines. From there she gained a position at CM printing as a lithograph stripper and from there into another position with a small printing company where she met Dave Ramirez, who in turn had come from a stint with a paper manufacturer.
In printing, growth and potential equates to equipment and a successful printing who
knows when it's time to bring in the equipment that will allow the shop to offer its customers
greater and greater service. This knowledge and experience is what helped
persuade Doctors' Hospital, Durable Slate Company, the Short North's Pistachio bakery,
and Cameron Mitchell restaurants to become regular customers of r design & printing.
Which brings us to the final of the three, Customer service and Relations.
Good Customer Relations is just as important as any other part of a business. Just
ask Rogers, who just may be the queen of great relationships in the short north. Aside
from being credited with driving many of the customers in the door, in 2005 Roger was
elected president of the Short North Business Association.
