DRIVEN BY RHYTHM
Established in 2020, Four Engines Apparel began as a home-based company dedicated to quality decorations and personal customer service. By kindling relationships with this mission, a strong customer base has propelled me out of the basement and into my own beautiful shop in West Boylston, MA.
Our Story
I began this journey in the field of screen printing in 2012 as a sidestep from my less fulfilling job of printing paper and plastic products. Apparel was and still is a growing industry with positive opportunities and exciting technologies. Possessing extreme attention to detail and a love for consistency, I found a real passion for the production processes of apparel decoration. After years of learning the ins and outs of all the phases of both production and sales, I saw a pattern presenting an even more exciting opportunity. The larger scale facility I worked for would regularly say no to orders of low quantity. Fast forward through hours of research, establishing business credentials, purchasing equipment, taking classes; the last five years have shown the immense support that local citizens and small businesses have for each other, and I am proud to serve exactly those in my community. Small companies need their logos seen too and I am here to help in any way.
There is also a deeper passion and mission rooted in the name of my business. As a musician, Four Engines is a term I heard applied to a drumming lesson and it has stuck with me ever since. My long-term goal is to create or partner with a local charity that will help provide funding and instruments for community music programs. To see that music programs are being cut or seldom offered in schools is concerning and something Four Engines is extremely ambitious to help change. There is a fulfilling rhythm I found within the production processes which I find akin to the joy of making music. With over 17 years of experience in logo merchandising, I am excited to continue to merge these two passions.
