Local project proof
Work we’ve painted in Atherton
Repeating a campus identity across very different walls requires more than using the same logo file. Scale, sightline, wall texture, and surrounding architecture all change from location to location.
Interior school graphic
Menlo College corridor lettering
A long Menlo College wordmark turns a campus corridor wall into a bold, legible piece of wayfinding and school identity.

Exterior campus lettering
Menlo College exterior wordmark
The college name was scaled across an exterior campus wall so the identity remains readable across the surrounding grounds.

- Start with the wall, not the idea. Surface type, condition, and access determine what’s realistic.
- Design is the multiplier. Detail level, typography, and revisions affect time more than people expect.
- Durability is part of the art. Outdoor and high-touch interiors usually need a protection plan.
- Good process keeps it painless. Clear scope, clear schedule, clean site prep.

How a mural or sign project works
- Scope: we confirm wall size, surface, environment (indoor/outdoor), and access constraints.
- Design: we align on style references and a design direction you can approve before paint.
- Prep: cleaning/repairs/priming so the mural doesn’t fail early.
- Paint: block-in → refine → detail, with a plan for sharp edges and consistent color.
- Protect: when the wall needs it, we plan a compatible finish so it stays cleanable and durable.

Do you paint indoors and outdoors?
Yes. The paint system and prep plan depend on the surface (drywall, plaster, concrete, brick, metal, etc.) and the environment (sun, moisture, high-touch areas).
Do you need permits?
Sometimes. Requirements vary by site and jurisdiction, and many projects simply require property-owner approval. If permits or approvals are needed, we’ll help you identify what to check for your wall.
