Design to Print Inc.

St. George, Utah

Josh Bevans first thought of the idea for Design to Print Inc. in 1994 as he was speaking during a technology panel in San Francisco.  The subject happened to be the speed of technology advancement.  From that experience, he knew he wanted to build an ultra-modern, high-end graphic print production shop in Southern Utah.

In its infancy, the internet was just starting to gain traction, but he could see it was going where he wanted to be.  He figured that with the rapid advances of the internet, there was no reason he couldn’t offer world-class graphic services and pre-press production in the middle of the Utah desert  - and today that is what Design to Print Inc. does.  Stefanie, and Josh Bevans are co-owners of both Steamroller Copies Inc. and Design to Print Inc.  Josh is the CTO and Stefanie is the CEO.

About a dozen years ago, Martin decided to turn his lifelong love of beekeeping into a profession.  Despite already having a successful floor covering business, Martin started Slide Ridge Honey in 2002 with a commitment to make it his full-time focus.  The family-owned business originally sold raw honey, but Martin knew the increasing numbers of beekeepers in his local area would not be good for the long term financial health of the business.

James’ experience as a business owner had proven that a company’s uniqueness and originality would give it the opportunity to thrive in a competitive marketplace.  So, the company started... Read More
