Owner

David McDonley is the founder/owner of Heritage. He started learning how to screenprint about 12 years ago while teaching art for the Boys and Girls Club in Louisville. He met a team of friendly people while working at a local print shop reclaiming screens. He was thrust onto a manual press where he started learning the process. He decided to open Heritage in 2016 with the help of his church, friends and family.
