Hello. I’m Michael Signorella. I am a graphic definer. Since 1973, businesses of all types and sizes have engaged my Boulder design firm to help them with their communications.
Over 1000 identity, print, packaging, advertising and web projects give credence to a long and successful history of design work for privately-held business, corporations and non-profits. I have had the pleasure of working with clients regionally, nationally, in Europe and in Asia.
Clients
It’s simple math. No clients = no studio. Great clients = great work. These are a few of the fine organizations have helped to keep it going:
