If your walls could use a little more personality, Transit Design has plenty of ways to put something meaningful on them. I create Custom Subway Signs, Custom Pet Portraits, hand-painted Farmhouse Wall Decor, Protest Posters & Social Justice Art, vintage advertising posters, and plenty of original wall art for spaces that could use a little character.
Transit Design is a one-person small business based in Northern Michigan, where I design artwork inspired by typography, travel, vintage graphics, meaningful places, and the occasional idea that simply refuses to leave me alone. My artwork is produced to order using trusted U.S.-based production partners, while my hand-painted wood signs are handmade here in Michigan.
If you like your wall art on the dramatic side, explore my Vintage Advertising Posters & Prints. These oversized reproductions feature classic advertising artwork—including designs by Leonetto Cappiello—and make especially good company in dining rooms, kitchens, home bars, and anywhere else that can handle a little visual drama.
For something more personal, my watercolor-style pet portraits are created from a favorite photograph you provide. A Custom Dog Portrait or Custom Cat Portrait makes a thoughtful gift for an animal lover—or a meaningful way to remember a beloved companion who has passed.
My hand-painted farmhouse signs are inspired by old shop signs, advertising graphics, kitchen signs, lake-house life, and words worth putting on a wall. Choose from ready-made designs or create a Custom Farmhouse Sign using your own word, name, or saying.
And then there are the Custom Subway Signs—the designs that started Transit Design back in 2010. Customers choose the cities, neighborhoods, addresses, travels, and other meaningful places, and I turn them into personalized wall art inspired by vintage transit rolls. I still love seeing the stories people manage to fit into a list of destinations.
Whether you’re looking for something custom, something vintage, or simply something that doesn’t look like everybody else’s walls, browse the shop and get in touch if I can help.
