Scott Schonschack is already a master sign crafter. However, like any entrepreneur with a head full of ideas, he knows there is much more that he can do for his clients, and he's proving it through his latest business enterprise A&I Design Solutions headquartered in The Box Factory for the Arts. It's kind of ironic that his new venture is literally yards from where Art & Image was born at the base of that same Broad Street hill years ago.
Schonschack launched his newest enterprise at A&I Design Solutions back in mid-winter and about a month in, he discovered a very talented and artistic Graphic Designer and made him the new CEO of A&I. His name is Michael Finnigan. Michael burst onto the scene when he assembled a presentation for an industrial client who was knee-deep in a remodeling project very much in need of nice displays in the open air lobby of the business. Essentially, the team at A&I went all-in and produced highly creative ideas for multiple spaces and the client was ecstatic with the entire package of options and asked for everything to be put into action.
When all of the gears fall into place, ideas can immediately hit the road running and that's exactly what Scott and Michael aim for with every client they do work for. Scott says the technique is to inspire business owners to understand what their brand is all about. He says, "We walk with them in their environment, learn about their business, see the products that they are producing, and then come up with very specific ideas for spaces that need fresh ideas." It is a perfect companion company to Art & Image, a production sign and display company.
By branching off from the 25-year old parent at Art & Image, however, the revolutionary new start-up is looking to advance the possibilities of what can be done in the workplace everywhere. In today's economy, businesses are growing rapidly, and with that in mind, A&I Design Solutions aims to heighten the business standard when it comes to brand identity by creating a cohesiveness that makes for strong brand loyalty.
The new firm is all about environmental branding. Michael and his crew are passionate in getting to know the personality of businesses, promoting their brands in innovative ways with materials that are new to the local marketplace, and by providing clients with the customer service that has them returning time after time.
Finnigan brings more than 25-years of multi-faceted design to the table in the pursuit of constructing a unique and effective environmental branding strategy. The firm has the power to energize stale businesses, inspire any employee and secure customer loyalty going forward.
By helping companies increase the power of their brand, A&I develops and improves brand communication and in turn establishes an employee/customer-friendly work environment. The services of A&I Design Solutions include:
- Environmental Branding
- Graphic Design
- Logo Design
- Marketing
- Signage & Wayfinding Design
- Exhibit Design
- and more…
A&I Design Solutions will conduct a Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting ceremonies on Thursday, August 11th from 4:30pm until 7pm in their design space at The Box Factory for the Arts at 1101 Broad Street in St. Joseph. Featured at the event will be current projects that will give you an exclusive insight into the team.
