custom murals elevating spaces in San Francisco
Based in California and licensed as a C-33 painting contractor, I design and paint large-scale murals that bring character and meaning to built environments. From hospitality and commercial settings to public-facing developments, I create custom murals across San Francisco that reflect both place and purpose - with a focus on visual storytelling, collaboration, and impact.

why work with a licensed painting contractor?
While SB 456 exempts some muralists from licensing, hiring a licensed painting contractor still offers clear advantages - especially for larger or more complex projects.
A license signals experience with job site coordination, safety standards, and regulatory compliance. It is also the only way for a muralist to carry proper insurance, including workers’ comp for assistants, which is still required by law.
Without a license, coverage is missing, creating potential risk for clients and property owners. Working with a licensed painter means coverage and compliance are fully in place, protecting everyone involved.
