About Rick Fargo
Rick began his career in the Graphic Arts in 1972
as a printing press operator. Since then, he has held several positions
within the industry. In 1984, he opened Matrix PrePress, a commercial
pre-press provider, in Santa Clara, CA. After the sale of Matrix
in 1997, he worked as a print broker for Printing By Design where
he was named Sales Person of the Year in 1998. During this time,
he also worked extensively with a former Matrix employee who had
opened a sign shop. He gained knowledge and experience in sign fabrication
and production and completed jobs for companies such as Cisco Systems
and Electronic Arts.
Rick took a short break from the industry after moving
to Atascadero four years ago, but he decided to return to it in
May of 2004 when he took a job at a local sign company. After working
there for two-and-a-half years, he again decided to open his own
shop, All Signs and Graphics.
About Annie Farrell
Annie is a graduate of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.
She holds a bachelor's degree in Graphic Communication with a concentration
in Design Reproduction Technology and a minor in Consumer Packaging.
While at Cal Poly, she received a scholarship award from Bookbuilders
West for the design and production of a one-of-a-kind edition
of The Secret Garden. Upon graduation, she accepted a position
with a top graphic design and advertising firm in San Luis Obispo where
she spent three years as a graphic designer and production manager.
During that time, she completed award-winning projects for both
local and national clients.
After leaving the design firm, Annie decided to pursue
her passion for the culinary arts and spent six months cooking at
The Black Cat Bistro in Cambria. Although she greatly enjoyed cooking
professionally, she decided that her dad's proposal to open a sign
shop together was an offer she couldn't refuse.
