Hello and thank you for your interest in my work. I have joined Maker marketplace because I am passionate about creating one of a kind custom wood work, hand lettered signs and art work.
Having been an Art Teacher and always loving creating artistic products, I want to create anything that people can think of. I strive to perfect customers' ideas into custom works of art to be displayed and enjoyed for years to come. I'm proud to create the majority of my work "free hand" and from scratch. I love working with each customer by getting him/her involved in their project/s from beginning to end. I believe collaboration between the customer and the maker results in the best possible outcome of any project I make. I send progress pictures of each order from beginning to end so you will be part of the creation of your project.

Please message me with your ideas to have your unique custom work of art created exactly as you want it. Thank you!

    I absolutely love the sign that I had made for my nephew's wedding gift. It is beautiful and exactly what I requested. It's the perfect gift for a young couple just starting their journey in life to hang on their first house. Martin was a delight to work with. He stayed in excellent communication with me throughout the project and requested my agreement prior to moving on to each additional step of the process. Martin is polite, professional and extremely talented. His quality of work is superb! I highly recommend him!!

    Incredible outcome. I offered a picture of a product I saw online and indicated what changes I wanted and he was able to run with it and make something that will be a treasured family piece for my mom. He kept me up to date the entire way, and didn't do anything without asking first. Definitely will use him again for future needs.

    This maker was great to work with. I sent a picture of what I wanted, and he was very informative, helping me pick out the right materials for the job. While the project was being completed, I received messages almost daily, with updated pictures of how it was progressing. The final product was better than I could have imagined. On top of that, the price was very reasonable and the project was completed and shipped very fast. I would absolutely use this maker again, and I would recommend him to anyone.

    Love my distressed wooden flag! SantaCruz Designs stepped in when the maker of the flag I picked out was no longer on the site. Being my first time to use this site, he walked me through the process. Martin worked with me to understand what I wanted, the exact color, and the size. I had this flag made for my son who is in the Army and working in Des Moines, IA. Thanks SantaCruz Designs.

    In the beginning of the project I wasn't 100% sure that the project would come out exactly as I thought. It came out 1000% better then I thought. Martin took my sentimental project and turned it into an awesome piece. I had given him a piece of my family's history and he replicated my sign to exactly look like the original. He was very professional in sending me updated pictures on each progression and constantly updated me with questions. I felt as he really cared about his work. His workmanship was awesome. Great stuff and professional from the beginning. I would use him again in the future for any other projects I ever come up with. I highly recommend him for any project!

    The sign I had made is nice. To be fair, I did not read the description that well. I thought it was going to be "engraved" with a router, not just painted on, so I don't now how long it will look nice in the weather. That's my fault. Very expensive.

    I'm very happy with how my project came out! It was a sign for my husband and he loves it. Unfortunately we had a shipping issue, but Martin did have it finished and sent out in order for me to receive it by a certain date. When shipping was delayed, Martin was apologetic and checked in every day to help me find out where it was. It was out of his hands at that point but he did what he could to help. Nonetheless, once it did arrive both my husband and I were really happy with it! Throughout the project, Martin sent updates frequently with pictures and gave his expert advice while still listening to what I wanted. He did an amazing job. Thank you!
