July BOTM

Imagination Print &amp; Design BOTM [ [link removed] ]

The Village of Oswego and the Economic Development Commission are pleased to recognize Imagination Print & Design as the Business of the Month for July 2025.

Founded by Kelley Rice in 2005 as a freelance graphic design business, Imagination has steadily grown into a full-service design and print operation. In July 2010, Kelley transitioned the business to a full-time endeavor, making this month its 15th anniversary.

What began in Kelley’s home office has evolved into a thriving enterprise now located at 68 Main Street in downtown Oswego. Since purchasing the building in 2019, Kelley and her team have grown the business to employ nine people, serving a wide variety of local clients.

Imagination Print & Design is not only a creative cornerstone in Oswego’s business community, but also a dedicated civic partner. Kelley has served on numerous local boards, including the Oswego Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown Association, and currently serves on the board of the Oswego Foundation for Educational Excellence. She also volunteers as the Fundraising Chair for the Oswego Junior Woman’s Club.

Through its online store, Imagination has helped raise over $500,000 for local schools and nonprofits. In addition, Kelley co-owns The Scoop, a downtown shop offering ice cream, candy, and books by local authors.
