Ellen’s Silkscreening Makes its Mark on Pasadena

When Ellen Daigle took some courses on sign painting to work at home while watch over her children in 1978, silk screening was just one of the subjects she studied. Working out of her garage and going door-to-door to sell her services; she was able to open her first location in South Pasadena after six years of hard work and shrewd entrepreneurial skills.

Then, after securing a contract to supply shirts for the summer Olympic Games of 1984 Ellen’s Silkscreening hit it big and it hasn’t looked back since.
