Shawn Rice is a multi-disciplined graphic designer, print-maker, and illustrator currently residing in Minneapolis, MN. It was back in Minnesota around 2010 when he finished his art degree, fell in love with the printing process and He cut his teeth on a 6 color manual press, learning the silk-screening trade, printing on everything from flatstock to fashion apparel. Shawn has worked with small businesses, artists, retail, non-profits, wedding planners, and individuals alike, creating logos, brands, websites, posters and of course tee shirts. He moved to New York in 2016 to pursue new design challenges and learn the inner working of agency life. While that experience remains invaluable to him, Shawn's love affair with printing, silk-screening and apparel pushed him to open TRAPEZIUM,
