Jules Ma’vis

FringeROC Artist & Founder

“Sometimes you just gotta STOP and smell the flowers.”

Background / History

Jules Ma’vis formed an intense interest in photography during his teen years. Even before receiving his first 35mm camera, which he purchased his Junior year, Jules  took a full year of Photography. Learning the basics and the art before entering college. His prized possession was his classic Pentax K1000 35MM camera.

After earning a degree in Marketing from Fredonia State University, Jules commenced on a career that has involved traditional marketing, graphic design, and digital marketing. Since 2015, Jules’s career has become more diverse and branched into numerous areas beyond those mentioned.

Connection to FringeROC

Throughout his life, Jules has pursued creative endeavors, from writing to photography to graphic art. In April of 2020, Garrett Chase approached Jules regarding the concept for FringeRoc.com, and from that day forward Jules was “all in.” Having previous experience with Custom Printing, Jules wholeheartedly agreed that Zazzle would be the best platform for FringeRoc.

The artistic duo desires their products to be created quickly, on-demand, and using high quality source materials and printing processes. Zazzle fits the bill perfectly, plus Zazzle has always been committed to American-Made products.

Starting during the spring of 2020, with the COVID lockdown holding the country at a standstill, Jules Ma’vis and Garrett Chase developed both FringeROC.com and the FringeROC Zazzle Online Store over the course of several months.

And now, the work continues…
