founded in 2009

my clients are design partners.

I dont dictate. I collaborate.


Large or small, I create everything from simple branding refreshes to complex consumer experiences. In either case, Grafficsignals is centered on driving sales. With over 30 years of experience, I’ve created a huge library of awesome techniques and resources to achieve the best solutions, at any budget.

Mike Juras

CREATIVE LEAD

For 30 years, I've created inspiring branded experiences and successful interior environments. By thinking through the entire consumer experience, I've been able to express creative solutions in a broad range of graphic formats. I've worked in print, web, and signage, to name a few. I've also developed successful architectural and interior design solutions, utilizing 3D modeling, material specification and space planning.

Over this time I've been lucky to work with an amazing list of clients and industries. As my portfolio shows, they have ranged from the traditional, southern rock motifs at the Grand Ole Opry, to the contemporary, clean lines, of the GM Tech Center. I've designed for bold brand personalities like Taco Bell, to more subtle dining experiences at Maplewood Bar and Grill. All of these concepts were designed to express a fresh brand personality across the the whole consumer journey, while also meeting the client's budget, building on consumer loyalty, and maintaining successful operational standards.

When I’m not buried in fonts and color, I’m hanging with my awesome family. Playing Tennis. Eating great food. Drinking cheap wine.

 


looking forward to working with you
