The signage world in Los Angeles has evolved a lot over the last 5 to 10 years, and I've been right in the middle of it. LED tech has gotten way better: more efficient, brighter, longer-lasting. That's huge for modern signs. But I still love bringing back classics like real neon (glass tubing) and updating them for today. It's like listening to vinyl in a streaming world: reliable, high-quality, with that authentic feel you can't fake. A lot of trendy stuff, like those neon-look LED ropes from overseas, pops up indoors, but for me, it's about in-house manufacturing here in LA. Building community with other sign makers, doing it right, not just quick and cheap.

One question I get a lot is: LA has tons of sign companies. What makes I M Creations different? For me, it comes down to one thing: I don't cut corners on quality, no matter the project size. Whether it's a big corporate client or a small mom-and-pop shop, I treat every job the same. I bring top-notch quality assurance every time. I could chase cheaper options, but that's not me. I'd rather the end product exceed what the client pictured, something tangible they can point to and say, "Whoa, that's better than I expected." That's rewarding. When the client is genuinely happy, and we're both proud of it, that's what keeps this business feeling right.

Hey, I'm Isaac, the guy behind I M Creations here in Los Angeles. People always ask how I got into custom signage and why I decided to build this business right here in LA. So here is a bit about me and my story. I was born and raised in LA. When I was five, my family moved to Mexico for a little while. That's where my dad started a screen printing company, making T-shirts and all that. Even at five or six years old, I was in the shop, helping out, watching the process, getting my hands dirty. We came back to LA when I was seven, and I continued growing up around the world of turning designs into real, tangible things.
