Skilled hands. All under one roof.
Our team brings more than 200 years of combined experience in custom framing, printing, fabrication, and installation. With all production handled in-house, we keep a close eye on the details from start to finish.
The design counterWhere the piece is designed. Real mouldings, mats and glazing held against your art until the combination is right.
The fitting shopJoins and mounts, which is everything that happens to a frame after the moulding has been cut.
The wood shopMills a profile no catalog carries, out of raw stock, a few steps from the fitting shop that will join it.
The print labScans and prints, on the same floor as the frame the print is going into.
The install crewHangs the finished piece, level, on your wall. A single mirror or a whole gallery wall.
The crew that loads the vanPickup and delivery in and around Orange County for the work we have produced.
Whoever is at the counter when you walk in.
You bring the piece, and someone from the design team holds real mouldings, mats and glazing against it until the combination is right.
All you need is your art.
It can be physical, digital, or still an idea. In-person design consultation is required for framing three-dimensional objects, so bring that one to the counter.
No appointment is required.
Booking one is optional. Walk in Monday to Friday, 10am to 5pm, or Saturday, 9am to 1pm.

“Medi and Kristen are wonderful.”
“I gave them something that was a bit out of the ordinary and they found solutions that sounded great and looked even better than I thought they would… visiting their workshop in person was really cool.”
