About Artist Seraina Baumgartner – The ‘S’ in NGS
Traditional sign writers NGS
Really fantastic. Nick and Seraina make a great team. They perfectly replicated the vintage style of our roads numeral design with a stained glass effect. Great communication and planning and then outstanding result.
Nick did a fantastic job at one of our residential projects. He was always very responsive and advised along the way as we were unsure on designs at the beginning.
Would not hesitate to recommended Nick, we look forward to working with you again. Many thanks, Joanna (Indigo London).
Cavalry and Guards Club London.
