About Us
Our Brand Story
redspade™ is a story more than 10 years in the making. We began by offering graphic design and web design services to friends and family.
In 2015 we created the redspade™ brand and finalized our logo.
In 2017, we expanded by purchasing screen printing equipment and offering custom apparel as another service.
In 2018, we purchased our first vinyl cutter and started offering vinyl stickers and HTV apparel;
we also made redspade™ official by registering our trade name with the State of Maryland.
Most recently, in 2024, we added a 15-needle commercial embroidery machine to our shop and started offering embroidery services.
