Principal / Senior Designer
Steve grew up helping his father who was an architect by making blue prints. Oh the ammonia. In High School, Steve studied mechanical drafting, architectural drafting, and architectural model building. But his interest steered to screen printing, graphics and sign design. Jumping into the sign industry right out of high school, Steve had his share of pounce patterns before learning the Gerber IV B. I’m not saying he is old, but his first computer didn’t even have a mouse. Steve went on to graduate from SFSU in Design and Industry. He first worked for Circle Graphics and handled architectural and ADA signage. He then worked for Superior Sign Systems tackling large commercial electrical signage contracts. After 18 years on the fabrication side, Steve handled signage design for The GNU Group overseeing a nation wide branding campaign for AMB Properties. Steve branched out even further by joining MoZ Designs were he is currently the Senior Estimator and Designer for custom architectural fabrication.
