History
Established in 1985.
I started my sign company back in 1985, with the concept of whimsical, cartoon-like exterior signs. Sharing that vision, Kat brought a new level of artistry rarely seen before in the in the sign industry. As our popularity grew in San Francisco, we had more opportunities to create many high profile icons including the famous "Legs on Haight St."
