DRAGONFLY GRAPHICS, INC.
GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA

Who We Are Dragonfly Graphics, established 1976. Revels’ artful vision paid off. She bought an historic house on the southwest side of town and planned and executed a custom, commercial renovation, making ours the classiest screen printing shop ever. In this new location, Dragonfly Graphics earned the City Beautification Award for Innovation. Our creative, expert graphic artists are truly the cream of the crop and print impressive, cutting edge graphics. Our custom production, years of experience and high standards ensure that our clients are satisfied. Most importantly, at Dragonfly Graphics we print T-shirts with love. Dragonfly Graphics is a locally owned and operated Gainesville business that provides high-quality screen printing and embroidery services. The difference between screen printing and embroidery boils down to the fact that screen printing uses ink and stencil, whereas embroidery involves thread. Give us a call with any questions! We’re happy to help. 352.375.2144 Joy Revels was born and raised in Tampa, Florida. She moved to Gainesville to earn her bachelor’s degree at UF and then went on to UF Law School. Once she finished her JD, she did what many grads do: she looked for a job. Somewhere along the way, she came in contact with Dragonfly Graphics, a struggling shop, which focused mainly on graphic arts and also did some screen printing. After Revels visited, she started seeing T-shirts EVERYWHERE. She experienced what you could call an Awakening, decided to put practicing law on hold, and used what resources she had to buy Dragonfly Graphics. That was in 1986. What separates Revels’ business style from the rest of the pack is her dedication to working with the community – whether it’s by offering sponsorship to local events, or by networking with other local businesses, Revels makes a personal connection with everyone she meets. Revels believes that doing business is about much more than just making money – it’s about connecting with humanity and shaking hands with someone new. Not only is she a proud business owner, she is a mother to her eighteen year-old daughter Fiona Revels (a member of the DFLY staff). When Joy is not busy running a business and being a mother, she likes to drive her go-cart, work in her garden, play golf and hike. Aimee Anderson started working in the sales department at DFLY back in 2004. Anderson has a passionate interest in promoting Revels’ business, for Anderson and Revels are life partners. Anderson earned a bachelor’s degree in English at Smith College. She then earned a master’s degree in English Education, later earning a second master’s in writing. Currently, Anderson divides her time working at both Dragonfly Graphics and Santa Fe College, where she teaches English in the High School Dual Enrollment Program. Tristan Adams, Production Assistant Tristan has been working in production at DFLY since 2012. He started off working part-time while he was attending Gainesville High School. Adams is well-versed in all aspects of production: coating screens; reclaiming screens; setting up the technically detailed automatic presses; and supervising quality control. Raheem Saunders, Production Associate Fiona has been working with DFLY since she first entered the world. At a very early age, Joy showed her daughter how to print T-shirts. Now that Fiona is eighteen, she has started working outside the family business, but she always comes back if the staff needs her! Fiona is a senior in the Dual Enrollment program at Santa Fe College. While Josh can screen print with the best of them, he stays out of production and focuses on client art. We have several freelancers who Josh supervises, and each spring he takes on one or two interns from the SFC design program. Josh’s artistic style is evident in everything he creates. He’s especially gifted at taking a client’s idea and turning it into exactly what they had in mind. Josh also stays up-to-date on the latest advancements in graphic design software, ensuring that DFLY is cutting-edge when it comes to graphic arts.
