Neonworks, established in 1994 by Deb Slatkin in Charlotte, North Carolina, specializes in custom neon design and fabrication. With a strong background in graphic and industrial design from Pratt Institute, Deb's journey into the world of neon began in 1986 when she worked for a New York marketing and design firm. There, she gained experience in creating corporate identity and translating logos into three-dimensional signage. Her fascination with the artistry involved in glass tubing, particularly the glassbending techniques, grew during her time spent in sign shops working alongside skilled artisans.
Over six years, she honed her craft in glassbending, leading her to establish Neonworks—a unique shop dedicated to innovative uses of neon. The company focuses on creating bespoke signage and artistic installations, collaborating closely with clients to bring their visions to life. Neonworks offers a diverse range of services, including commercial signage and custom designs that can add a vibrant touch to any space.
Deb’s expertise not only stems from her design background but also from her passion for this captivating medium, which encourages her to explore new artistic avenues. The work produced at Neonworks reflects creativity and craftsmanship, transforming neon into eye-catching displays for various applications, including commercial projects and artistic exhibitions. With its commitment to quality and innovation, Neonworks continues to lead in the dynamic field of neon art and signage.
