Screen Printing Press Assistant - 1St Shift

Our history

Stevie Hopkins CEO, personal motto:"Love life" led him to build the world's largest vertically integrated independent merchandise business in the world. His mission to be wildly independent & relentlessly creative guided his business growth and is the reason that SCP became what it is today.

When Stevie was in college, him and his sister Annie began printing disability advocacy shirts that featured Annie's creation, the wheelchair heart symbol. The symbol was a huge hit within the disability community. They never imagined that this side project would lead them to create 3E Love in 2007, the largest disability advocacy brand in the world.

After Annie tragically passed away in 2009, Stevie carried on her legacy by continuing his work with 3E Love. This eventually led to the birth of SCP.

We are SCP!

Wildly Individual.

Relentlessly innovative.
