Quality Custom Picture Frame Design

PictureThis certificate has lots of unique design components used in the framing, yet still fulfills the basic premise of enhancing the framed item. To find out more click on the photo.
At My Personal Framer “quality custom picture frame design” stands for:
  • Exceptional design:  Staying current with design trends and innovative techniques, combined with my skill at color selection and layout, allows me to provide you with finished products that surpass expectations.
  • Conservation materials: Glass with ultra-violet protection.  Mat boards and backing boards create a preservation environment.  Mounting techniques are completely reversible, using only rice paper hinges, linen hinges or acrylic corners. The only exception is when  I am handing reproductions that can be easily replaced, such as mass-produced posters and some photographs.  In those cases, I vacuum-mount or permanently adhere the print, but would still use high quality materials to ensure longevity of color and paper integrity.
  •  Detailed craftsmanship: Taking care to make sure every step of the framing process is executed perfectly is the secret to artistic, long-lasting framing that will protect your belongings for years to come.  Framing at My Personal Framer  means even the small, hidden elements of every frame I build is placed with the skill and conscientiousness of a master craftsman.  
  • Personalized service and design assistance:  I consider your unique style and preferences, décor, and goals for the framed piece, to create a finished product that brings you pleasure.  I will assist you with design choices every step of the way and even come to your home or office for an art and framing consultation, if you prefer.​

Whether you have invested money in fine art, spent hours handcrafting needlework,
want to exhibit cherished objects, the next step is investing in professional, custom framing
​to protect and enhance your belongings.
