Jeff initially designed a beautiful and eye-catching sign for our school, and several years later when approached, he thoughtfully assessed the needs of our school to identify a solution to ongoing maintenance of the sign. He created a solution that allows us to remove and replace the letters on the sign to repaint and refresh the sign as needed. His attention to detail makes the final product impeccable.

I needed a real estate sign rider on short notice and Jeff came to the rescue. He quickly assessed my needs, turned around a proof, and less than 24 hours after approving the proof the sign was in my hands. The font, layout, and quality were all great. Great to have a local company like this in Santa Monica.

Sooooo. Pandemic. That said, I've decided to close down one of my offices and Jeff and his team did a swift job on taking the sign down with no work on my end. I'm grateful I was able to work with him again, even under the bittersweet nature of the job.
