The short story...
Welcome! I'm so glad you stopped by. Here's my story and I'm sticking to it... I'm Amber and I put words on things. Walls, wood, chalkboards, glass, furniture, Plexiglas--you name it--I mean that literally, YOU name it. My favorite thing to do is put YOUR special words and phrases on the things.
Once upon a time, I got degrees in fine art and education. I have had various jobs and hobbies since then but throughout my life, in all its ups and downs, I have found inspiring words and meaningful quotes to get me through the tough times, make me laugh, and remind me to not take myself or life too seriously. And I have forever been fascinated with fonts and lettering. I love that I get to bring all of that together in my lettered art creations and share the fun with my sign clients and students.
The custom designed signs part...
As for my particular type (no pun intended ;-) of sign design, it's all about the custom art for me--or you, rather. That's why I ask, 'What's YOUR sign?' Whether it be for a wedding, a business, or a home, I love making something different, unique and special for each and every client. Something you will cherish, love and respond to because you helped design it. Custom work allows us to connect and be inventive together and then I use my trusty old graphic design and fine art skills to pull it all together.
The type of signs part...
I can make signs on chalkboard, wood, glass/Plexiglas, etc. that you provide or on-site. As mentioned, I create everything custom and part of that process includes deciding what colors I'll use, what the overall style will be (fun, modern, classic, whimsical, clean, illustrated, etc.) and how the lettering will look (caps, cursive, calligraphy, block, etc.). We will work together to decide YOUR sign design. And from there, I will create your piece.
And in conclusion (finally, right? I guess you can see my passion for being wordy now too ;-)...
My biggest goal is to BE PRESENT in each moment, big and small, and focus on all that I have to be grateful for. Some days I'm better at that than others (good quotes help), but I know that it is my best recipe for JOY. What is yours? We can put it on a sign for you. Custom designs are my fav!
Thanks for stopping by and drop me a line if you have questions or are ready to commission YOUR piece. I am looking forward to connecting and making YOUR sign art visions and words of inspiration come to life.
Creatively Yours,
Amber
