Our Craft
We believe in building the best and sweating the details.
Quality matters.
By controlling every step of the process, we can build your sign just the way you envision it.
The Space
Tinkering Monkey is located on a 33,000 sq ft industrial complex in Berkeley, California. Purchased in 2020, it has been an ongoing project to build our dream shop from the ground up. Our buildings are packed with the latest technological wizardry (and the wizards to operate it) with near limitless fabrication capabilities.

Sustainability
We choose sustainable methods and materials whenever possible.

We run on 100% solar and wind power, generated here in California.

All our acrylic and metal signs are LEED certified.

All our hardwoods are sourced from the US and are FSC certified.

We only use low or ultra low VOC paint, per CA law.
Reuse and Recycling
Waste is a huge problem in the sign industry. Here’s how we’re tackling it ourselves.
METAL SIGNS
Our metal signs contain 20% recycled material
ACRYLIC SIGNS
Our acrylic signs contain 40% recycled material
SCRAP
100% of metal scrap and most of acrylic scrap are recycled
PACKAGING
More than half of our packing material is reused
