TESTIMONIALS
“I’ve used J.Beam for many years and many projects now, across multiple types of industry. I am always shocked and amazed on how Jesse navigates different difficulties with ease. His problem solving skills are unparalleled. It is rare to find someone who is both highly creative and highly skilled in a craft, as one usually has a stronger suit one way or another. Jesse is a true savant in both regards, making him such a breeze to work with. Both the process and result of Jesse’s projects are second to none. ”
“At Block 15 Brewing Company, we’ve worked with Jesse on a range of projects, nearly always ambitious in nature and often involving creative problem solving and custom fabrication. Not only is Jesse flexible and easy to work with, but his attention to detail is fantastic, his ability produce beautiful work spans a broad range of mediums and disciplines, and his pricing is extremely competitive—especially considering the quality of his work and the impressive range of services he offers. I can enthusiastically recommend J Beam Design + Craft as a trustworthy and talented collaborator on custom signage and large format visual installations.”
“We have brought a wide range of projects for Jesse to work on from half baked ideas, to fully specified tech drawings. He has the ability to turn those ideas into finished products always suggesting ways to save money and make a higher quality end product. He is my go to outside fabricator. He is always on time and a great communicator, which is key because most of my projects are on a tight timeline. We continue to work with Jesse because he is professional and creative. Definitely a great resource for our company. ”
“I have used Jesse Beam for many different projects over the last five years. He has done everything from simple window decals to elaborate custom furniture builds for my stores. Jesse has always stayed within the time frame discussed at the beginning of each project. As a business owner I truly appreciate his accuracy when it comes to price quotes, this is so helpful when budgeting for a buildout. Overall the quality of work and the clearness in communication is second to none. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone!”
ABOUT ME
Creating, building, and designing are in my blood. They are etched in my earliest childhood memories. Growing up in Corvallis, Or. skateboarding, snowboarding, and working in my dads sign shop, there was always a new ramp to build, graphic to put on it, trail to follow and trick to learn. Always a new problem to solve.
In 2007, I started in the industry while working for Oregon State University at a sign shop located on campus. Here is where I began to learn the building blocks for a business centered around building and fabrication. In January 2013, I moved my family to Portland, Or. where I worked at Portland’s Vital Signs. as an installer of large format retail displays. Here I expanded my skills and learned a lot working with clients such as Nike and Adidas. In December 2013 I took the plunge and started my own business.
I currently work in a studio setting alongside 2 other craftsmen with complimentary skills. I share a space with Shelter NW, a design and build contractor, and Iron & Stone, a metal fabricator and concrete countertop maker. Although we are all different businesses, our combination of skills and tools can function together as a larger business to create beautiful restaurant and retail build outs. Everything from Custom furniture, sign design, and metal fabrication, we’re confident we can build almost anything.
