About Us

We came to be because a kid couldn't stop doodling in class.

About Reinforcements Design

For as long as he can remember, Rein has loved to draw. As a kid, he’d turn zeros on his math papers into tires and fill the margins with sketches of muscle cars. You could say creativity has always been in his DNA.

After graduating from high school, Rein earned his associate degree in Electrical Engineering from ITT Tech in Fort Wayne. Not long after, he married his high school sweetheart, Suzie. In 1985, Rein took a leap of faith—leaving his job to start Reinforcements Design. What began as a small passion project has grown over the past few decades into a trusted local business serving clients across many industries.

Today, Rein and Suzie still run the company together, alongside a dedicated team—some of whom have been part of the Reinforcements' family for nearly twenty years.

As a family-owned and operated business, Reinforcements Design is built on strong values: integrity, creativity, and commitment to quality. We take pride in delivering personalized service, flexible timelines, and custom design solutions that fit each client’s unique needs.

Because we’re a small business ourselves, we understand the challenges our clients face—and we’re passionate about helping businesses of all sizes, from startups to large organizations and schools, bring their ideas to life.

No project is too small or too large—just the right size for great design.

WE EXPANDED FROM A SMALL, DOWNTOWN OFFICE TO A LARGE POLE BARN.

        And we use every inch of the space! Whether we're lettering semi trucks, putting graphics on a billboard-sized sign, or screen-printing a large order of shirts, it pays to have space. (Mainly for our sanity of mind.)
