Jamez Shepherd
Project Manager, Signage | “Aesthetic Engineer”
I’m a father of two, born and raised in SEQ. Married, home owner, and founder of two home businesses; Mezign Creative and Kustom Track Art. I’m highly motivated to create value and use my decade of industry experience and knowledge to provide that value to my clients and colleagues.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been extremely curious and sensitive towards beauty. Whether it be audio, visual, or just a thought, I love breaking things down and finding a new emotion to be experienced. As is with visual communication, just because something looks right doesn’t mean it feels right. But I don’t think of myself as just a designer; I have a passion to challenge myself, to build, to engineer, to create.
My origins in the industry began as a graphic designer for a real estate sign manufacturer. My curiosity and desire to learn more about signage found me managing production, estimating and dispatch/logistics scheduling within months. I soon learnt how to install vinyl on shopfronts and vehicles. Over the years I’ve grabbed every opportunity that presented itself to further my knowledge and growth.
For the last 3 years I’ve been privileged to manage projects from pylons and billboards, to entire schools, hospital expansions, government offices, business re-brands and a variety of others – from site inspection and client meetings through engineering drawings, design consultations, production and installation.
I have a very hands on approach to project management. I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty and assist at any step of the process, and I know I can be of great value to any business I invest myself in.

SKILLS
It’s my personal opinion that labeling skills in graphical format on a resume is a bit egotistical (what is 100%?), so I’ve tried to represent my confidence in ability within each of these fields.
