RIO’s story started back in 2005…

Richard Ian Oberfeld (RIO) was working as a Golf Professional in Central MN. After his first son was born, he realized that the golf career wasn’t a long range fit for the family. Rich and his family then moved to Arizona. He signed on with a decorated apparel company as an independent rep.

Starting with zero experience in the industry and no direction of where to go, 10 years later he was a multi-million dollar key account rep working with themed restaurants, national parks, theme parks and more.

In 2016, Rich decided it was time to venture out on his own and started RIO Design, Ink. The design company’s focus was to work with similar customers in the tourism industry but also not turn small orders away. 

Even if you just needed 12 shirts for a family event RIO is happy to do it.

The success of the design company has come solely from the dedicated, talented and hardworking people who are the backbone of RIO Design, Ink.
