The Team

The humans on your order.

Twelve designers, four press operators, two prepress specialists, and a four-person customer team — all full-time, all Brooklyn-based, all on the same payroll. No offshore handoffs and no white-label resellers fulfilling under our name.

Every Inkgility order moves through the same four people: a designer who knows your brand kit, a prepress specialist who catches what your file is missing, a press operator who runs the actual machine, and a QC manager who looks at every order before it goes in the box. They sit on the same floor. They share the same coffee. That's the whole architecture of how we keep quality consistent at small-batch quantities.

Below: leadership, the studio team, advisors, and an honest note about hiring.

Leadership

The people running the company.

Two co-founders, a design director, and a head of operations. Representative bios — names are illustrative for the public team page.

PA
Co-founder & CEO
Plato Aristotle

Fourteen years in premium print, ex-Pentagram. Born in Athens, lives in Brooklyn. Spends most of his week with the design and AI-phone product teams. The platform thesis — print, brand, AI, ops in one place — started in a coffee-shop sketch he hasn't thrown away.

MR
Co-founder & Production Lead
Marcus Reeves

Eighteen years on Heidelberg foil presses. Started at his uncle's letterpress shop at fifteen and never left the industry. Runs the press floor, owns the substrate range, and is the reason reorders look identical to the first run six months later.

AT
Design Director
Aria Tan

Twelve years in brand identity, ex-Mucho. Leads the custom design service and sets the bar on what a finished brand kit looks like. The one-designer-per-project rule is hers.

JN
Head of Operations
Joaquin Navarro

Operations, customer team, and the AI phone bot deployment pipeline. Came up in restaurant ops, which is why he treats every order like it's a Saturday dinner service.

Studio

The designers, operators, and customer team.

The day-to-day. Representative profiles of the studio.

DO
Daniel Okonkwo
Senior Designer · Foil specialist
The person who designed the wedding card you keep mentioning. Specializes in foil layering and metallic-on-dark color systems.
SR
Sofia Reyes
Senior Designer · Stationery
Hospitality and restaurant brands a specialty. If your menu needs to read as both casual and confident, her desk.
HY
Hiroshi Yamada
Senior Designer · Typography
Anything serif-first or letterpress-leaning lands on his desk. Custom letterforms when the project warrants it.
EW
Eleanor Wright
Prepress Lead
Catches the things you didn't know you needed to fix — small-text foil bleed, transparency flattening, hairline strokes that would disappear at 600 dpi.
JH
Jamal Hassan
Press Operator
Antique gold on black-core — his signature combo. Runs the foil press five days a week and knows the temperature behavior of every substrate we stock.
IL
Ingrid Lindqvist
QC Manager
Every order passes her bench before it ships. The reason our reorders match originals.
BC
Beatriz Costa
Customer Team Lead
You've probably emailed her. Always replies in 30 minutes during business hours. Runs the queue and escalation logic.
TP
Theo Park
Customer Care · Files
Files and prepress questions. The person who tells you whether your PDF will press cleanly before we charge a cent.
MW
Mae Walker
Customer Care · Shipping
Orders, tracking, DDP, returns. If a package goes missing in transit she gets it back on track.
RK
Rohan Kapoor
AI Phone Engineer
Tunes the AI phone bot for every customer deployment. Voice, scripts, handoff logic, transcript review.
LM
Layla Mendes
Partner Program Manager
Onboards affiliates, ambassadors, influencers, creators, and resellers. Owns the 30-day payout window.
FB
Finn Buckley
Press Operator · Digital
Runs the Komori digital and Indigo HP. Color matching to brand-kit values is his work.
Advisors

The people we call when it gets hard.

A small, working advisory bench. People who pick up the phone on a Saturday.

Twenty years in independent brand consulting for restaurant groups and hospitality chains.

Renée Laurent
Advisor · Small business growth
Worked with hundreds of SMB founders on cash flow, hiring, and vendor consolidation.

We hire when the right person shows up.

We don't post job listings on a regular cadence. When someone exceptional reaches out, we make room. If you're a designer who cares about printed output, a press operator who treats the machine like an instrument, or a customer-team person who's allergic to robotic email — we'd love to meet.
