Authentic Design

Dorothy Loges, has taught graphic design, screen printing, vinyl sign making, as well as employability skills to students at the Dallas County Technical Center for 24 years. It has long been a dream of hers to open a shop and offer more services to Buffalo and surrounding towns. She would also like to work closely with the Tech Center offering job shadowing, internships to students, and future apprenticeships. After retiring from teaching at the end of the 2024 school year, she will miss the excitement of teaching and guiding new students into their future she anticipates a different type of adventure daily.


Kiera grew up in Buffalo and the Dallas County area. She attended Buffalo Elementary and was then homeschooled until She graduated. During my junior and senior years of high school, I attended the DCTC Graphic Arts program.

he started to grow the business and would periodically loop Dorothy in on what she was doing and ask for help and suggestions on different projects.
