Stop Overpaying for Commercial Signage. Get It Done Right - The First Time.

Tighter budgets shouldn't mean compromised quality. With no standard pricing in the sign industry, raw material markups and vendor inflation can cost you thousands. I leverage deep manufacturing knowledge and a trusted national network to source the best materials at true industry pricing, cutting through the clutter so you save money and hours of research.

THE SIGN INDUSTRY DILEMMA

Rising global costs force vendors to inflate prices, sometimes it's required, other times it's not. Because no two shops price the same way, you get skewed quotes, deceptive markups, and hours of frustrating research.

I serve as your personal industry insider to cut through the confusion:

Audit: I review your signage needs and specify the correct materials.
Source: I secure the most competitive bids from a vetted network.
Manage: I oversee production and logistics from start to finish.

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT?

For over a decade, I have operated at the intersection of environmental graphic design, technical print specification, and large-scale signage project management. Having successfully navigated the operational scaling and acquisition of a legacy sign company, I know the exact fabrication and labor cost models that local vendor shops hide behind.

Through Heather Boykin Designs LLC, I serve as an independent, objective project broker and consultant. Because I do not answer to a single print shop's overhead, my recommendations are entirely unbiased. I handle the technical vector submittals, manage advanced code compliance (ASTM E-84 and UL Greenguard), audit third-party vendor bids to prevent price gouging, and orchestrate a trusted, vetted installation network to execute physical builds flawlessly.

🎯 Core Specializations:

• Institutional & Educational facility wayfinding rollouts

• Direct procurement brokerage

• Trade partnership alongside GCs, Architects, and Commercial Interior Designers

• Technical specification auditing & 3M materials compliance matrix testing
