Hello! I’m Megan Sterenchock, the founder of Stray Threads. I’ve been in the screen printing world for the past 10 years. My first job out of college was for a bigger, local screen-printing company, and I’ve done artwork for other local printers over the years. As a t-shirt and hoodie enthusiast, I’ve also been on the consumer side of ordering shirts and merchandise for companies. I love nothing more than a well-designed shirt printed on a nice soft and cozy garment! 

I've always loved creating and designing. My college education started out first with commercial photography, followed by a second degree in graphic design. 

Even though the majority of my career has focused on the graphic design world, I‘ve always had a love for photography. I enjoy shooting film with cameras from the 1950s and 60s more than with any modern-day camera. It stems from wanting to be involved in the creative process. From taking the photos to processing the film at home in my kitchen sink and then cleaning and scanning the negatives—I get to create something visually intriguing. 

The same goes for the apparel decorating process, and it’s why I created Stray Threads. From creating the screen with artwork and mixing and prepping the inks to manually pushing the squeegee across the screen and transferring the ink onto the garment: this is creating wearable art. For me, it’s all about feeling connected to the process of creating!
