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?

Michele Bouvier – Graphic Design

As a Graphic Designer/Creative, I work with Entrepreneurs, Businesses and Cottage Industries. If you already have a clear definition of your commercial persona, we can address what assets you need to continue to successfully promote your brand identity and product. If you need assistance establishing your business identity, we can create your brand and whatever promotional assets you will need. If you are in need of self-promotion, we can tailor your representation to reflect your uniqueness.

The typical designer/client interaction consists of an initial consultation, a collaborative interview to define the scope of a project, and then the designer will hunker down to do brainstorming and production independently. Working with me is a little more unique: through a process of curiosity, communication, intuition, and intent, we will tap into your creative expression, explore how to share it with others via modern platforms and means of communication, and bring together a vision of how you wish to be commercially represented. I like to think that working with me, regardless of your commercial needs, will bring about a deepening of your understanding of who you are as a business person or entrepreneur, and clarify the means by which your business can thrive.

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.
