ABOUT US
"The Mantis Jingle"
How it all began:
Mantis Graphics had humble beginnings - essentially born from a love of the outdoors in Breckenridge, CO, going to Grateful Dead concerts, and of course, t-shirts. Founder Brad Robbins (Lancaster, PA native) got his start working as the warehouse manager at Mountain Tees (Breckenridge, CO), where he started designing and printing his own shirts. Eventually, he and his future wife, Rachel Lepine decided it was time to head back to the east coast, and set up a small shop in Easthampton, MA. In 1996 Mantis Graphics was born. Brad is joined by Meghan - Sales Director, Nicki - Office Assistant and Online Store Director, Drew - Art Department Director, Doreen - Lead Embroiderer, Chris - Lead Screenprinter, and Alyssa - Web Manager.
