With an initial investment of only $3,500 -- and no venture capital -- Shazamm started in Deacon's living room...what sets Shazamm apart...is that all three of the company's principals -- [Dana] Paul, Jim Deacon, president of operations and Keith Sereby, president and head designer -- have their roots in print design.

Now located in a 4,000 sq. ft. former textile mill, Shazamm has clients like ESPN, Field & Stream, Outdoor Life and Tommy Hilfiger...

And although many clients are not in Rhode Island, Shazamm enjoys the economy and culture of its Providence location.
