Meet the Team

River Ink Printing and Signs Ltd. is your full service printing, sign, and design shop located in Campbell River, B.C. on beautiful Vancouver Island. Our services are extensive- from graphic design, to specialized printed paper products, to illuminated signs, and custom clothing, we are truly your partner for all your marketing, creative, and display needs for any business!

Starting in 1993 under the name R.H. Printing, we had humble beginnings out of a garage with just a single press. It didn't take long to outgrow that space, and the business saw great growth over the next decade and half. In 2017 the business was sold to Chelsea and Mike so that the first owners could retire. In 2019 we expanded operations buy purchasing Epic Design Studio Ltd., which allowed us to expand our operations in to signage, vehicle decals, and custom clothing- allowing us to truly be your one-stop-shop for business, advertising and marketing materials!

Locally Owned and Operated for Over 30 Years in Campbell River!

CHELSEA AND MIKE

Locally owned and operated by husband/wife team Mike Chayeski and Chelsea Miller. Chelsea is our Fearless Leader and Mike is our Chief Operations Officer.

MARK

Mark started working as a designer on the mainland in 1999 and has been with River Ink Printing and Signs (formerly RH Printing) since 2005.

He loves living in Campbell River because the pace is much better than the city and there’s plenty of great mountain biking, kayaking, and other outdoor activities in our backyard.

NEIL

Neil is our right hand man! He works on the production side of things. Such as book binding, trimming down stationary products, putting together signage and much more. Neil has been in the printing industry for over 40 years! He is also a proud published author, and a stream keeper on Detweiller Creek in Campbell River.

JESSICA

Hi! I’m Jessica, Engraver Extraordinaire, I have 7+ years experience engraving all the things. I have a keen eye for detail, I’m also a bit of a perfectionist, and I’m also super crafty so this job is the perfect fit for me.

ATLAS

Hello, I’m Atlas, currently the full-time engraver at River Ink. My passion is in illustrations and animation, so I am normally drawing in my free time.

Don’t tell anyone… but I’m actually three raccoons in a trench coat.

He loves a good challenge and opportunities to accomplish new and exciting projects.

ZAC

Our newest graphic designer, a prairie boy who left the cold wasteland that is Alberta and headed to the Best Coast in 2010. Zac and his family have lived in Campbell River since 2016 and have enjoyed exploring all the great hiking and swimming spots that the island has to offer.

Zac originally went to school for graphic design and then proceeded to get his degree in Communications from Simon Fraser University. A lifelong creative type, Zac enjoys drawing and especially painting miniatures and using them for their various nerdy games. He also enjoys slinging Magic cards with friends, and plays more for fun than anything.
