• Environmental \& Architectural Graphics: Design and develop comprehensive interior/exterior signage packages, wayfinding systems, custom monument signage, and vinyl/graphics applications.
• Vector \& Asset Production: Build, audit, and finalize production\-ready vector assets (preparing cut files, organizing layers, specifying material callouts) for fabrication processes such as CNC routing, laser cutting, and UV flatbed printing.
• Code \& ADA Compliance: Apply local municipal sign codes, structural mounting specifications, and ADA braille/signage standards across assigned project phases.
• Cross\-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with project managers, sales teams, and in\-house fabrication leads to ensure designs meet engineering requirements, client budgets, and production schedules.

• Lighting \& Electrical Signage:

o Illuminated Assemblies \& Power Systems: Working knowledge of low\-voltage LED systems (modules, tape, and light bars) across standard color temperatures and RGB/RGBW addressable configurations. Understanding of Class 2 power supply sizing, driver load calculations, and integration into custom raceways, cabinets, and wireway enclosures for optimal routing and servicing.

• Code \& Architectural Literacy: Working knowledge of ADA signage guidelines, municipal sign codes, structural mounting methods, and reading architectural elevations/blueprints.
• Detail \& Problem Solving: Strong typography, spatial design, and scale judgment, with the ability to balance aesthetic impact with structural feasibility.
