Custom Signs & Sayings On Wood Or Metal
I love creating signs from reclaimed and/or distressed wood, metal, and other materials. I'm happy to work with you to design exactly sign you've envisioned, or you can just give me a few details and I'll design something unique for you. Price depends on materials, complexity, and turnaround time. Quick turnaround is usually possible!

Douglas Repetto
Mildly Happy
Hello, I’m Douglas Repetto, an artist and designer based in Memphis, Tennessee. For many years I taught electronic art, music, and sculpture at Columbia University in New York City, where I was the founding director of the Sound Arts MFA program. I work with diverse materials and processes to make one of a kind functional (usually!) objects (lamps, furniture), clothing, and accessories, as well as commissioned work like custom electronic devices, chandeliers, bespoke wooden cases, and engravings.
I combine traditional techniques for working with wood, metals, textiles, and concrete with modern wonders like computer controlled tools, home automation, and tiny embedded computers. I often work with found or recycled materials, and the environmental and social impact of what I make and how I make it is always on my mind.
I’m happy to talk with you about design and fabrication jobs of any size, from a simple plaque to an automatonic chandelier!

Apr 13, 2019My custom desk top arrived today and I could not be happier. Highly recommend Douglas for any wood working project. He did an amazing job matching my existing furniture (from pictures alone). And he stayed in regular communication with me from day 1, frequently sharing pictures and status of my desk as it was being built. He completed the project in the timeline promised as well. Like I said, could not be happier and I would not hesitate to order from Douglas again!

May 25, 2019I am extremely pleased with the end table that Douglas created for me. He took my basic idea and crafted a beautiful piece of furniture. Douglas was very responsive, timely, professional, and fair. He sent me pictures along the way and I couldn't be happier with the results. I would definitely work with him again!

Apr 24, 2019The project was a great experience. The artist was professional and tuned-in immediately to my idea. The piece is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, despite being carefully packaged, it arrived with a piece broken off.
