“I do whatever it takes to get the job done,” Troy Koskinemi says. “Carving, gold leaf, 3D—we’ve done it all. People often come to me with oddball projects and things that take creative fabrication. When you finish one of these large projects that takes you several months of planning and fabrication, you know it’s going to be out there for years and years. It’s pretty satisfying.”

Troy turns out a variety of sign work from his 1000-sq.-ft. home studio, including a lot of monuments for real estate developments. They’re big, beautiful and challenging. Take a look at his work and hear how his business has changed over his 30-year career.
