Mentor: Ed Townsend, Grass Valley Sign
Student: Jackson Joyce
Jackson Joyce, from the Class of 2021, has been interning at Grass Valley Sign with his mentor, owner Ed Townsend, since he was a Freshmen. Founded in 1984, Grass Valley Sign is the largest full-service sign shop in Nevada county. They specialize in custom-made commercial and residential signs, as well as vehicle lettering and graphics. They also create custom banners, decals, vinyl lettering, and more.
At Grass Valley Sign, Jackson does a lot of vinyl work (cut print and printed material with logos) — including vehicle wraps and vehicle graphics. He loves to see the work he does around town. Jackson just helped work on new window signs for Friar Tucks in Nevada City.
Jackson has been so successful at his internship that it’s even turned into a paid position.
