Meet the Next Level Marketing Sphere:

Tim Armstrong – Signage, Large Format Printing

Our humble roots began back in 1984 in Sacramento, California where all the signage produced was traditionally hand drawn and painted.  

My family, myself and TNT Signs relocated to Sonoma County in 1997. Always keen to advancements in the sign industry, we soon had computers and plotters for cutting vinyl for signs. Today we are proud of the technologies we employ but are still deeply rooted in the traditional ideals; focused on high quality, durability and design. After all, it is our job to make sure your message is delivered to the public and your target market. 

We are a full service sign shop and are prepared today to meet any challenge. We work with cutting edge technology and  are able to bring together most every type of sign and visually communicated message.

We’re able to extend to our all our customers the peace of mind knowing that we can meet their needs!

What can we do for you?

David Comfort – Website Design

David Comfort has been a marketing professional since 1995 when he helped take Quadretech, Inc in Los Angeles into their IPO. As the Director of Marketing for that company, he understood the core principles of getting a message to your target market. What was most exciting about that time though was the development of desktop based media software. This allowed marketing professionals to dive into the actual creation of the marketing materials they needed to communicate their message. Thirty months and many hours of training and certifications later, David then reached into deeper software creation as a 3D Animator and Visual Effects Artist with Look!FX, at a time when the film industry was exploding with special effects content.

Just before the millennium, David opened Sleepless Digital in Los Angeles, to directly work with businesses in their marketing development.

In 2003, David moved to Santa Rosa and continued his focus with Sleepless Digital on marketing with brand development and media creation along all platforms. He has helped launch companies from the ground up with their marketing and product materials, and has created every form of marketing media available. He frequently collaborates with other marketing professionals and often interface for clients who need to know what another professional is developing. As the online world began to take over marketing, David started focusing more on website development. He currently emphasizes Brand Infusion and Consistency along with a focus on the User Experience.

David still learns something new on every project, an element that has kept him truly enjoying his work all of these years.

Kodak Alcantra-Rodriguez – Photography

Kodak Alcantra-Rodriguez, a portrait and lifestyle photographer based in Sonoma County, California.
Hello and thank you for wanting to learn a bit more about me!

My name is Kodak. I am a 2Spirit/queer Native American and Mexican photographer born and raised in Santa Rosa, California. QT with a Camera was a handle born about 10 years ago when I decided to pursue and cultivate my creative passion with an emphasis on highlighting and celebrating QTBIPOC folks (Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, People of Color). Hence, the name QT!

I genuinely enjoy creating and fostering a safe space for individuals to show their personalities when taking a photo or video. It’s not an easy task for most of us, and often times requires patience in order to loosen up and feel excited about being celebrated through a lens.

My approach to photography is to learn more about you during our sessions together. I want to know more about the person in front of the camera so that I can deliver a worthwhile product . To create a positive memory. Often times, these memories are the reasons we even have keepsakes, and I understand that importance.
