Every once in a while, a project comes along that pulls me outside my typical workflow in the best way. A few times a year, I open up space in my schedule to take on custom signage—the larger, out-of-the-ordinary, “this needs to be special” kind of pieces for events, businesses, and friends who need something meaningful.
Think:
• Welcome signs for weddings
• Branded signs for small businesses
• Statement pieces for photoshoots or storefronts
• Oversized engraved wood or leather displays
• One-off custom art pieces that deserve to exist in the world
This post is a portfolio of sorts—an easy link to send when someone asks, “Do you make custom signs?” and a place to showcase a few of the projects I’ve loved bringing to life.
What Makes a Left Grain Sign Different
All of my signage starts in the same place my hats and leather goods do:
with a custom design that’s laser-engraved or cut right here in our Noblesville studio.
I work with real leather, wood, acrylic, and mixed materials depending on the project. Every piece is intentional. Every detail is crafted. And every sign is made to feel like you—your event, your brand, your story.
Custom Signage Portfolio
Wedding & Event Signs
Large event signage created for couples who wanted something unique for their big day. Welcome signs, seating charts, bar menus, and statement pieces designed to photograph beautifully and last long beyond the event itself.
Business & Brand Signage
From storefront displays to booth signage for markets, these pieces are designed to elevate your brand presence with hand-drawn artwork, clean typography, and a distinct, handcrafted feel you can’t get from mass-produced signs.
Art-Forward Installations
Occasionally I get to bring a wild idea to life—oversized florals, layered wood pieces, engraved illustrations, and mixed-material displays for creative shoots, studios, and small shops.
Special Projects
When something falls way outside the box (my favorite), I take on limited commissions for statement pieces: engraved panels, custom-cut shapes, keepsake signs, and meaningful gifts.
How to Request a Custom Sign
Because these projects require design time, materials, and sometimes engineering, I only book a small number of custom signs each year.
If you have a project in mind, here’s the best way to start:
-
Fill out the inquiry form on my website
-
Share any inspiration photos, size details, and timeline
-
I’ll follow up with design ideas, pricing, and availability
If it’s a good fit for scope and schedule, we’ll make something incredible together.
Why I Offer Limited Custom Spots
Left Grain’s core will always be my hat collections and leather goods—but these custom sign projects are a creative breath of fresh air. They challenge me, push my design brain, and let me dream up pieces that become meaningful keepsakes or beautiful brand statements.
They’re rare, intentional, and crafted with care from start to finish.
If you'd like a custom sign for your wedding, business, or next project, reach out anytime. I’d love to hear your idea.
