The Journey: From Apprenticeship to Brandsmith
My journey began as an apprentice, learning time-honored techniques from some of the state’s most respected masters of the craft. As technology transformed the industry, I expanded into graphic design, combining classic hand-lettering principles with modern production standards to craft truly unique visual identities.
Prior to establishing Brandsmith, I spent ten years as Production Manager for one of the state’s leading signage companies—overseeing high-volume, complex rollout projects for major national brands from initial concept to site installation.
In mid-2020, I founded Brandsmith Signs & Graphics to bring that high-level production expertise together with the personal touch, precision, and artistry that drew me to the trade in the first place. Whether you’re launching a new venture, refreshing an established brand, or need expert third-party installation, we’re here to build something built to last.
