James is a Tennessee native who moved to Charleston in 2018 to join the TargetMarket team. He went to the University of Tennessee. During his time in school, he helped his father grow a printing company from the ground up, learning the ins and outs of design and production. Primarily focusing on screen printing apparel and then transitioning into embroidery and vinyl.

James is known for being a jack of all trades, having been raised under the mentality of “we can probably do that ourselves.”

Starting at TargetMarket, he began primarily creating trade show graphics and, with time, has expanded his capabilities to handle almost all aspects of traditional print. You’ll often find him wrapping a vehicle at our Summerville print warehouse.

Outside of work, James enjoys spending time with his wife and one-year-old son Oliver, working on a remodeling project, reading, playing the occasional round of valorant, or cooking with his masterchef wife.

Lindsey is a wrap technician for TargetMarket, she joined the team in 2021. She’s been working in the vinyl field for 8 years and loves what she does. She loves comedy and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Her dream project is to wrap an airplane or helicopter. While she loves large installs, she’ll also be found wrapping unconventional items like car rims, baseball bats, helmets, or pretty much anything vinyl will stick to.

She frequently says, “Friends don’t let friends paint cars, that’s what vinyl is for.”

On a day off, you will most likely find Lindsey at an improv show or home with her husband, Brian, and their three cats. You can always spot her car because it has a unicorn cat eating a donut on the hood.
