ABOUT TRI-COUNTY TEES
Tri-County Tees was built from more than 15 years of experience in graphic design, apparel, printing, and brand development.
I started out the way a lot of print shops do — behind a squeegee, learning the hard way that a great tee lives or dies on the details. Over the years that turned into designing logos, building brands, and eventually launching stores for other people's ideas. Tri-County Tees is what happens when all of that comes home: a Metro Detroit studio where the person designing your logo is the same one making sure your shirts come out right.
The Journey
15+ YEARS, ONE WINDING ROAD TO TRI-COUNTY TEES
01
SCREEN PRINTING ROOTS
Hands-on in the print shop — learning that a great tee takes the right artwork, the right garment, and attention to every detail.
02
APPAREL & PRODUCT
Years in apparel design and product development — helping create products and take ideas from rough concept to something people are excited to wear.
03
ECOMMERCE & BRANDS
Marketing, print-on-demand, and managing large catalogs — building brands and growing them online.
04
TRI-COUNTY TEES TODAY
Part design studio, part print shop, part clothing brand — rooted in Metro Detroit and inspired by the people and culture that make it home.
Whether I'm creating a custom shirt for a local business, helping someone bring an idea to life, or designing something that feels unmistakably Michigan, the goal is always the same:
MAKE IT ORIGINAL. MAKE IT WELL.
MAKE SOMETHING PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT TO WEAR.
MAKE SOMETHING PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT TO WEAR.

What We Believe
HOW WE WORK
QUALITY FIRST
Every job gets the same attention, whether it's one shirt or five hundred — the right art, the right garment, checked before it prints.
LOCAL & PERSONAL
This is a Metro Detroit studio, not a call center. You'll talk to the person actually designing and printing your project.
NO PRESSURE QUOTES
Ask for a quote and get a straight answer — no upsell, no obligation. If it's not a fit, you'll hear that too.
