Kevin Osmond is the CEO of Jakarta-based Printerous (www.printerous.com), a social design service that will turn your Instagram pics into poster-sized wall art (or a photobook, sticker or magnet). They currently ship to Singapore, Indonesia and Europe.

What’s the elevator pitch for the Printerous concept?
It’s a social design service where people can create personalized arts. We turn your designs into high quality arts through printing with advanced technology and skilled workmanship. Then we deliver the art to your doorstep with care. But in the future, Printerous will be the online platform for people to create, buy & sell personalized products from people all around the world.

Where did the idea come from?
These days, people love taking pictures with their smartphones or cameras—but often these memories end up only on social media or web storage. It’s now possible to revisit these memories every single day.

Is it hard to make pictures from people’s phones look good at a larger size?
We have developed proprietary image resizing technology that allows us to create good quality prints. We’re so confident that we’ll even give you a full reprint of your order at no additional charge.

Has anyone submitted anything strange?
We once got a Photobook order from a dog to its master, celebrating the master coming home after a long holiday trip.
