After working 12 years as a sales analyst, I decided to move on from the corporate world and follow my creative passion. Not knowing exactly how to channel that passion, I decided to take night classes at the Rhode Island School of Design to study graphic art. After learning the basics of Photoshop and a request from my sister to create something “special” for my niece’s graduation, the Mosaic Guy was born.

I created my first mosaic (at that time using a program) to create a “not so great” mosaic of my niece.  The main image of her face was so distorted she was barely recognizable—the background images were filled with white borders and so small you couldn’t see it even with a magnifying glass. Realizing the program just couldn’t cut it, I turned to Photoshop to see if and how I could create a better mosaic.

After a few years of trial and error, I finally created the “secret sauce” through using a variety of self-created methods within that would balance the main image and background images with clarity both from close up and afar.  Today I can say with confidence that you will be more than happy with your mosaic and happy that you didn’t opt for a cheaper, lesser quality mosaic, and a mosaic designer with less experience. 

Our Mission Today is the same as it was when we started in 2005—to design original art that stands out and makes our customers feel they have something unique and different that will have most people saying, “Where did you get that? I have never seen that before!” Whether it’s an amazing sports mosaic comprised of hundreds of player images from years gone by or a personalized mosaic made from your photos, you can be sure you are buying an ORIGINAL design of our own creation. Whatever you choose, the gift from The Mosaic Guy will be unique, personalized, and cherished by your loved ones for years to come.
