She found a sweet spot designing, merchandising, and developing print programs for some of the biggest fashion and textile companies in Los Angeles - including BCBG, Neman Brothers, Asta International, and Big Strike/Heart and Soul.
With an instinct for color, a specialty in forecasting trends, and the technical know-how, she is a vital force in the industry. With a killer eye and a desire to keep innovating the industry, Carol works to propel the next print cycle in fresh and exciting ways. Always an advocate for digital textile printing technology, Carol has exposed countless designers to the power and potential of digital textile printing. By championing customization, short-run collections, and the endless possibilities of digitally printed designs, Carol constantly pushes the boundaries of where fashion, art, and technology meet.
Her utilization and understanding of digital textile printing technology led her to open her own digital textile printing studio, MY Prints, with partner Steven Moreno in LA’s Arts District. For the past eight years, MY Prints has been fortunate enough to service and collaborate with some of the biggest clients in the fashion and entertainment industries.
Carol sits on the Big Picture Magazine editorial advisory board.
STEVEN MORENO | CO-OWNER, DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
It was love at first sight when Steven Moreno laid eyes on the Mimaki JV4 and TX2 models in 2005. Since that fateful day, Steven has spent endless hours learning the intricacies of a wide range of printers including models from Epson, Mutoh, and Mimaki. His technical expertise and artistic forte make Steven a powerhouse in digital printing and a go-to advisor for many industry leaders – including ink manufacturers, textile suppliers, and printer manufacturers.
In 2011, Steven teamed up with his partner-in-crime, Carol Yeager, to start MY Prints. Steven has spent the last decade and a half working on projects for the fashion and entertainment industries and his work can be seen in countless films, TV shows, music videos, and commercials.
All that said, at the end of the day Steven’s true passion is working hands-on with customers and bringing their fabrics to life.
