Tighter budgets shouldn’t mean compromised quality. 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.
Following the sudden, permanent closure of Signs & Signs under its subsequent ownership, I want to reassure my long-term clients and institutional partners that you still have a direct line to reliable signage expertise—completely independent of the closed storefront.
Please note that while I am not affiliated with the recent ownership and cannot warranty past work or unfinished orders placed with that entity, I remain fully available to support our legacy network. I believe in absolute honesty, open communication, and total transparency as the cornerstone of any successful business relationship. My philosophy has always been simple: Deliver what you promise, when you promise, exactly how you promised.
As many in our local and commercial networks know, Signs & Signs was originally founded by my grandfather, John Boykin, in 1991 and operated as a trusted, full-service sign shop for decades. Our family successfully sold the business in 2023, and I remained on board to manage the operational transition until my official departure in August 2025.
Today, through Heather Boykin Designs LLC, I am independently assisting legacy clients by handling select commercial print and drop-ship projects. I leverage the exact same national manufacturing network I built and trusted during my years running the shop. You can still order your commercial banners, stickers, decals, and ACM signs directly through me—shipped straight to your facility at true industry pricing.
Cutting Through the Confusion
Rising global costs force vendors to inflate prices—sometimes out of necessity, other times out of convenience. Because no two shops price the same way, you are left with skewed quotes, deceptive markups, and hours of frustrating research.
As your personal industry insider, I eliminate the guesswork:
Audit: I review your signage goals and specify the exact materials needed for the job so you don't overpay.
Provide: I utilize a vetted, trusted national manufacturing network to provide premium materials at true industry pricing.
Manage: I oversee production and logistics from start to finish, delivering right to your door or facility.
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 managed the operations of a legacy multi-generation sign company, I know the exact fabrication and labor cost models that vendor shops hide behind.
Through Heather Boykin Designs LLC, I serve as your independent project partner and consultant. Because I do not answer to a single storefront's retail overhead, my material and pricing recommendations are entirely unbiased.
What I Handle for Enterprise & B2B Clients:
Technical Compliance: I manage advanced code compliance (including ASTM E-84 and UL Greenguard standards) and 3M materials matrix matching.
Vector Submittals: I review, prep, and submit your technical design files so they print flawlessly without costly manufacturer errors.
Bid Auditing: I audit third-party vendor bids to stop price gouging and cut through skewed quotes.
Project Management: I orchestrate a vetted production and local installation network to execute projects on a case-by-case basis.
