KUSTOM BY KRIS OPENS GRAPHIC DESIGN STUDIO IN DUBUQUE

DUBUQUE, IA July 31, 2009 – The ultra-hip Kustom By Kris graphic design studio that opens Saturday in Dubuque’s Main Street shopping district is part showroom, part creative hub, and part gift shop. Kustom By Kris, a thriving design firm owned and operated by Kris Havlicek since 2003, creates stylishly desirable custom designs for all occasions, as well as logos, websites, and marketing materials for businesses.

The new location will host a Grand Opening on Saturday, August 1st, 2009 with give-aways from 1:00pm – 3:00pm. Guests are invited to enter to win a custom design package along with other prizes.

“I am passionate about designing unique projects for my clients and expanding my business to open a design studio in Dubuque seemed to be a natural step toward making myself and my services more accessible,” said Kris Havlicek. “It was also important to me to include creative artisans, so my studio will feature a consignment gift shop with handcrafted products.”

The Kustom By Kris design studio and gift shop will serve as Kris’ office where she can meet with potential clients, but also as a ‘real life’ version of her online portfolio where you can browse samples of projects she has created for others. The studio is refreshingly cheerful and the displays of t-shirts, signs, invitations, and business cards show off Kris’ creative talent, as well as the quality of printing procedures she uses.

“I enjoy designing everything from birth announcements and wedding invitations to complete business packages,” said Havlicek. “I look forward to being part of this community for many years to come.”

A welcome addition to the family of stores and services along Main Street, Dubuque welcomes the Kustom By Kris design studio and gift shop at 1135 Main Street. Stop in to browse the beautifully hand-made products and discuss your next custom design project. You are sure to feel at home in her comfortable studio that came together with the help of her family and friends.
