Pesce Design · Kapolei, Hawaiʻi · Remote
Hi, I’m Michael Pesce.
Every edge. Every color. Right the first time. 25+ years of sign-shop precision. I started as MCP Customs and became Pesce Design in 2019, and that experience is behind wraps, print production and drumheads for national touring acts.
- Vector rebuilds, not patch jobs
- Color-managed print
- Hired by Sic Skinz for national touring drumheads

Tommy Lee · 40-inch kanji heads
Hired by Sic Skinz to print and produce drumheads for national touring acts.
Kanji heads for Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe. The supplied art wasn’t vector, so I converted it and printed it with the black, white and gray tones true at 40 inches.
View project →From sign shop to design studio.
Pesce Design started as MCP Customs, my sign shop, where I was the designer, the production department and the person who had to stand behind the result. In 2019 the work became Pesce Design: the same standard, focused on design.
“You’re too picky for this line of work.” Clients said it often. I took it as the job description.

Tips from the shop floor.
Anchor Point Tips is where I share what 25 years of sign and wrap work taught me: quick Illustrator and Photoshop tips, print-production know-how, and Shop Life comics about the trade. The pen nib in the Pesce Design logo comes straight from it.
Have a file that has to print right the first time?
