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.

Great signs start with great materials

Our obsession with what goes into our signs means we only use hand-selected materials to get the best results possible.

Built by humans

Despite having amazing tech, we’re always willing to take the long way to get it just right.

Made in the USA

All our signs are made and shipped worldwide from our studio in Berkeley, CA.

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.

LEED certified seal

All our acrylic and metal signs are LEED certified.

FSC certified logo

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

Low VOC icon

We only use low or ultra low VOC paint, per CA law.
