About XYZ
In 2001, a pair of San Francisco graphics experts named Steve Waterloo and Sean McGlynn were growing tired of the sameness that prevailed in the prepress industry. They were enthralled by new technology, and yearned to see creative energy put to good use. They formed a company called XYZ, and lured the best of the industry to their sides by offering them creative challenges and a collaborative environment. Soon, the company became and continues to be the go-to solution for clients who believe that the creative process doesn't stop until the product is in front of the public. Today, XYZ provides creative support solutions for a roster of award-winning visual professionals.
