What I Do
Founded in 1990, my company, Michael Chupa Studios, has always been about building solid customer relationships that stand the test of time.
Our focus is on helping clients vividly tell their story with creativity, authenticity and allure. We engineer your imagination and help to bring your vision to life.
Keepsake Programs
Key Moments in our lives call for something memorable, both to mark the occasion and to later fondly recall the experiences, memories and relationships that have been so important to us throughout our lives.
Keepsake Programs are personally crafted and curated to give you something to remember an occasion or individual that is worthy of the importance you attach to the subject.
We have hand-crafted numerous Programs for Funerals and Anniversaries, and can craft one for nearly any occasion you'd like (Birthdays, Retirements, etc.).
Fill out the Keepsake Program Request Form to get more information or to begin the ordering process.
Because the creation of each program is a very time and emotionally intensive process, the typical time to build and then print a Keepsake Program is about 2 weeks.
