SIGNAGE DESIGN

At Signs Etc, I designed and created artwork for signage, primarily serving local businesses, design firms, and builders. My process involved receiving client specifications, generating 2-3 design options, and refining the chosen design through client approval. I often conducted on-site visits to assess the area, vehicle, or object, taking note of installation considerations.

Once the design is confirmed and approved by the client, the signage design is either engineered if it is a large structure and technical drawings are created for manufacture. Once the drawings are approved, manufacturing in our workshop, then installed on site once manufacturing is completed.

I also led the social media marketing channels.
