Background:

Nancy Highfill-Socha is the owner and operator of Riverview Signs. She holds a BFA from U.R.I. She is presently enrolled at RISD in a Decorative Painting Program. She and her associate, Pia Peterson, a RISD graduate, have been designing and building signs, and creating logo design packages for small business since 1986, and they continue to bring new ideas and enthusiasm to their work.

Signage can communicate far more than the words on them. They represent the business image you convey to the public. Attractive, legible, well designed signage will communicate and motivate for years. Quality signs will retain their advertising effectiveness for years by appealing to old and new viewers alike. Because signs are exposed to weather and are literally in use or 24 hours every day the overall life of a sign can be dramatically affected by the care taken in its initial construction and its continued maintenance. Quite simply, it pays to insist on only the highest quality materials and craftsmanship when you purchase a new sign. Real value is determined by all of these factors, rather than low initial costs.
