Factory 43
Seattle, WA

Andrew Saeger and Veronica Velasco became friends while working at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Their shared sense of humor, passion for screen printing and design – along with a t-shirt obsession – led them to form Factory 43 with the mission of creating quality graphic goods featuring their original illustrations. Their designs have earned recognition from Communication Arts and the Society of Illustrators among others.
