I am a designer with over 30 years of sign design experience. After receiving a degree in Visual Communications, I trained with SignComp extrusion manufacturing and their sister company, Valley City Sign for five years. I followed that as a sign designer and project manager for national commercial developer, Benderson Development, then for Tol Companies, a residential developer. For the last 20 years I have worked as a freelance designer and started Big Splash Studio, Ltd.
Big Splash Studio specializes in architectural sign design. Drawings are made on each company's title block and provided in PDF format. Production files can be provided to operate CNC routers and vinyl cutters.
As well as sign design; Big Splash can also create brand identity and marketing materials.
