Today we’d like to introduce you to Vincent Fink.
.506 was founded around early 2011 by Vincent and Tina Lara, two graphic designers who worked at the same print shop. Vincent left for better pay and found himself in a hostile work environment and had to walk out leaving himself with nothing… except for a dream. Tina helped in every way make that dream a legitimate business and starting with only a small run of 24 shirts, they have steadily worked without tire, pushing the investments like a snowball down a mountain growing with each turn. The company is a love affair between two designers that have never gotten a break in their endeavors. It’s a promise that things will someday work out. That something small and seemingly insignificant can change the greater system. That is the butterfly effect.
That is point506.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It is still a challenge managing the minutia of everyday business. Complicated tax filings are time-consuming. Finding production products that are made in America and are still affordable is tough but important to us.
