History of Artisan Grafix LLC

Artisan Grafix is a full service graphic design studio based in Long Valley, New Jersey. Our company was established in 2003 and has since grown into the company that everyone knows for its service, and reliability. We now service many businesses and schools locally in Morris, Sussex, & Warren counties, as well as many businesses in the North Eastern United States.

Artisan Grafix, was originally named Koolbeenz: Computer Solutions during our first year of business in 2003. The company was started when the owner Michael D. Savino, a college student then, realized there was not a lot of jobs that could combine all of his hobbies, and interests into his daily work. Knowing this Michael started the first phase of his company, Koolbeenz: Computer Solutions.

During the first year of business sales where hard to come by. Trying to find the companies identity and get people to know about the services, were the most difficult. Koolbeenz was originally a computer repair company that offered graphic design services as a minor part of the company. The computer repair part of the business was the part of the business that brought in sales, while the design studio was being developed and marketed. After a two years in business, the company managed to get enough business to divide the business into two companies, Dream Art Studios, and PC Works.

Dream Art Studios was still not the primary part of the business until Michael, went into a partnership with another local business owner, Marc H., of then Huffman's Shirts and Signs. Michael and Marc, opened a new store in August 2006, the same year Michael had graduated from college. The two renovated the store, and shared the retail space while not competing with each others services.

Both businesses where a success in Andover, NJ. Dream Art Studios, had finally become the primary business after a few hard years, of getting noticed, and PC Works had finally been able to be phased out in order to focus completely on the design studio. Dream Art Studios, was the dream that Michael had created, and always wanted to accomplish. Being self employed, and being able to do what he loves, design, and see those designs in everyday life, around the local towns.

Artisan Grafix LLC, came about as the reincarnation of Michael's design studio after leaving the retail store in the fall of 2007 after a minor business setback, and briefly taking a job with another company. Realizing that working in the industry for anyone else would not be a possibility, and seeing first hand all the way other companies copy other companies hard work, treat customers horribly, and have business practices that should not be allowed anywhere, especially in the ways employees are treated. Michael made his new company, the ultimate personalized business. Offering one on one consultation for all projects from start to finish with the clients, while keeping the prices the lowest in the industry, and having all employees and vendors treated as partners, because with out them there would be no studio.

The new studio, has already begun winning awards, for web site design and development. Along with winning these awards, the amount of services has almost tripled since the company has come back.

To this date we are located in Long Valley, NJ, and currently looking to open a new retail store or office in Spring 2010. Stay tuned as the company grows

Update: We have moved into our new office!!! We are now located at 440 Route 513, Califon, NJ 07830.
