From Vinyl Wraps to Award-Winning 3D Signs: The Story Behind Crave Design Works
My journey into custom 3D design began years ago in the St. Louis metro area, applying vinyl and vehicle wraps. I quickly discovered a passion for design, which led me to learn the art of CNC milling. The combination of creativity, design, and hands-on craftsmanship felt like the perfect fit. I knew I had found my calling.
Eager to grow, I moved to Colorado and joined House of Signs in Silverthorne. There, I had the privilege of apprenticing under Periandros Damoulis, one of the most respected sign makers in the world. Working in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, I spent years honing my skills in 3D modeling and custom fabrication, creating award-winning signs that now stand across the West and beyond.
In 2023, I was honored to receive the bronze medal in Sign Builder Illustrated’s worldwide Top Young Sign Maker competition. This recognition fueled my desire to launch Crave Design Works, a space where I could share my digital creations with other makers who are passionate about pushing the boundaries of design.
Crave is built on the belief that high-quality digital files can inspire creativity and streamline the process of bringing intricate designs to life. I love collaborating with designers, sign makers, and fabricators who are excited about making one-of-a-kind 3D art and signage. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting, I’m excited to be part of your creative journey.
