People will want directions at every staircase, exit, and entryway.
Directional Sign Design
Effective wayfinding starts with thoughtful design. We begin with an on-site consultation where we evaluate the layout, traffic patterns, code requirements, and architectural elements of your property. Our designers then develop a cohesive system of custom directional signs, interior wayfinding signs, exterior wayfinding signs, and office directory signs that maintain consistent typography, color, and material finishes.
Our directional signage design process factors in:
- Visibility and viewing distances
- ADA guidelines for legibility, contrast, and mounting where applicable
- Durable material selection for both interior and outdoor directional signs
- Clear navigation paths for offices, suites, amenities, elevators, and parking areas
Whether you need directional signs for businesses, office buildings, or parking lots, we design each sign for clarity, compliance, and long-term reliability.

All wayfinding and directional signage is manufactured in-house by our trained fabricators. We use high-quality materials, including aluminum, acrylic, and composites, and durable finishes engineered to withstand Southern California’s climate.
Because we manage every step—from CNC routing and laser cutting to painting and assembly—we ensure consistent quality across large signage packages. Our capabilities include:
- Interior and exterior directory panels
