Jackson Ruiz Salon

 When Jackson Ruiz Salon opened the N. Lamar location I designed a new sign for them. This image was my vision for it. Unfortunately the design got whittled down during production to keep it in budget.

Amplifier Signage

Amplifier, another exterior company sign that I am proud to have designed.

 The clients had no idea of what kind of sign they needed or wanted and so the job began with a sight survey and photo shoot to ascertain what could be done with the space. This was followed with a series of quick concepts to present the clients with possible solutions.

After a few rounds of concepts a design is chosen and minor adjustments are made. 

This design was approved by the clients, at which time I created all of the vector files necessary for production. The design then went on to be fabricated and installed.

Terra Toys store front design

Big toys and bright lights on Anderson Lane, Austin Texas.

 Terra Toys is a cool local toy store. When they moved to their new location on Anderson Lane I was happy to get the opportunity to handle the design work for the new store front. For this job I created all of the concept, presentation and vector production art. I worked directly with Ion Art for fabrication and installation on this project and the clients were very pleased with the results. The design adds lots of color and fun to the shopping center and the kids love it.


It all starts with a sight survey and a few before photos like this one.

The initial concept art showing the proposed five foot tall double stroke neon letters.

New versions of the spinning top and ball were created as production ready vector files.

The original concept included everything the client wanted. 

The final approved concept was scaled back to bring the cost into the client's budget.

The Finished Job.
