What is your favorite project you have worked on at the Sign Shop any why?
My favorite project we’ve done is the entrance branding for Nightcap at Nemacolin. What made it exciting for me was my involvement throughout the whole process – from the initial walk through, to choosing the shade of gold, to helping with the installation. This allowed me to gain an understanding of multiple aspects of our workflow.
