   Susan Haussmann-Collins: On Local Print, Design, and Resilience

   In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Susan Haussman-Collins, co-owner of Sound Repro Graphics. Susan shared her fascinating journey from Michigan to Bainbridge Island, from corporate advertising to co-owning one of Kitsap’s most beloved print shops. We talked about the evolution of print, the joys and challenges of small business ownership, and what it takes to stay rooted—and relevant—in a rapidly changing world. Susan's story is a great example of resilience, creativity, and community spirit.
