Mike Learn Airbrush and Design was founded in 2002 in a 600 sq ft shop on the back of our property in Tempe, AZ. Over the first year we quickly gained an expanding client base and we hired my sister Darla to help handle the business. By the beginning of 2003 it was obvious that we needed more space, so we leased a large shop and set to work promoting the business. Mike’s core clients were sending more bikes than he could handle, and referrals were quickly coming in. New employees were hired to speed up the turn around process, but soon, Mike knew he would need some help with the paint and artwork. In August we brought Krash on board to help Mike with the huge workload.
