Tim Beyer lives and works in Harvey, Iowa, a small town about 50 miles southeast of Des Moines. His pathway into the sign industry was through 3D signs via CNC routing and woodworking. Using the natural appeal of dimension to create more powerful advertising and identification for businesses struck him as a perfect combination.
“I’ve always been interested in drawing, art and design,” Tim says. “I bought the router first, just because I was interested in learning what you could do with one. That was 2010. In 2012, I took a CNC router class. Seeing others projects really got me hooked. It just snowballed from there.”
