Hello

This is my first time doing this, so bear with me. My Artiax is a funny name isn't it? Artifax was the name of the business I had when my son was a baby and I was a stay-at-home mom. It was a fun little business - kind of a printing brokerage. I took orders from customers, did the typesetting and graphics, then shopped around for the best price from printing companies, and got the jobs done and delivered. When my son was 20 months old, I was offered a job at a contractor for the Big Three (I live in metropolitan Detroit) for a lot more money than I was making at home. So Artifax just sat there in my little basement office, gathering cobwebs. A year later I was laid off and Artifax came to life again for a couple years until I went to work full-time for a local printing broker, doing graphics and typesetting for them. Now My Artifax is all the artifacts of my life.
