What Our Clients Say About Us
I worked closely with April & Jonny to design and install signage and artwork for a woman's health care clinic. April was excellent at navigating the different opinions that came from our team and getting everyone aligned on a common vision during the design phase. She also proved to be an excellent project manager by keeping us updated consistently and heading off potential issues before becoming larger problems.

ZAC Collaborative is that dedicated partner that we all need to have in our back pocket. The knowledge base and the work ethic of this team will elevate your project, and provide unique channels for problem solving. I’ve worked with April Christiansen for several years, the level of work consistently meets and exceeds expectations, all while organizing what appears to be chaos. While there are many stories to tell, one of my favorites was a challenge to resource 150 antique horns, compile and produce shop drawings to align with the client’s design intent. Collaborating with the client as well as the fabricators is how a complex project succeeds, this is the unique skill set that this team brings.

Creative Director,
Tube Art Group
I worked with April & Jonny on a full interior, front of house, back of house and garage sign design package for my 220 unit class-A multifamily building. They did a masterful job of integrating the branding my marketing team put together. Value engineering code required signage and giving the space the high end feel we desired. We trusted them with all the code compliance and they helped us through the variance process. Their organization and focus kept the project moving forward ahead of schedule.

Director,
Outlook Development Group
I've had the pleasure of knowing April since 2008, working directly with her on projects such as Nike HQ. April's meticulous attention to detail and her collaborative spirit make her a standout team player. I've been actively seeking opportunities to partner with April once again, not only to leverage her talents but also to showcase the impressive skills of her business partner, Jonny. Together, they bring a dynamic blend of creativity and precision to every project. April and Jonny are truly a force in the industry, bringing excellence to each project.
