Founded in 1965 by Bill and Marti Ellsworth, North Pacific Sign & Design Inc. has established itself as a cornerstone of the signage industry in Portland, Oregon, and the greater Northwest. Bill, a skilled sign and pictorial artist, recognized a unique gap in the marketplace between fine sign writing and the mass-market billboard companies. This vision led him to embark on a journey of creating high-quality signage that reflects both artistry and professionalism.
For nearly six decades, North Pacific has maintained a strong reputation for exceptional craftsmanship in various signage forms including hand-painted signs, murals, vehicle graphics, banners, and vinyl graphics. Today, the company is managed by the next generation, with Bill and Marti's sons, Curt and Brad Ellsworth, at the helm. They honor their family legacy by combining traditional techniques with modern technology, incorporating digital printing and CNC dimensional signs into their extensive service offerings.
North Pacific is known not just for its products, but also for its commitment to customer service. The team collaborates closely with clients throughout the entire process—from design to installation—to ensure that each piece of signage meets their unique vision and needs. Landmark projects include notable murals such as the Troutdale Tulips Tower and several installations for well-known businesses like Gold’s Gym and Fairview Post Office. With a diverse range of capabilities and a profound understanding of the local landscape, North Pacific Sign & Design creates eye-catching, bespoke signage that stands the test of time.
As a family-owned and operated business, they pride themselves on personal service and quality, reflecting the spirit of their community in every sign they create. Whether it's a small banner or a large mural, North Pacific Sign & Design continues to be a trusted name in the signage field, making it the go-to choice for businesses in need of high-quality sign solutions.
