With 28+ years of art hanging experience, I have worked with some of the top galleries, museums, collections, art consultants, and designers in the country and understand all aspects of making a space look great. Bring new energy into your home. Get the most excitement out of your art collection, or bring in new artwork and re-shape the space. Don't make common design errors while working with a "handyman". Go with a pro that understands esthetics!
With exceptional technical experience, I am routinely called upon to manage a diverse range of installation projects. I work quickly and most houses usually only take a couple hours. Generally there are two job scenarios: if you know where everything is to be hung then I can start as soon as I arrive, and if you are unsure of where you would like your art hung, I will start by getting a sense of what art work you have and do a walk through of your home to get an understanding of the space. Once we have decided what layout makes the most of your collection, I start installation.
To give you an idea of cost I typically charge $70 per hour, with the first hour (based on you location) in around Knoxville being around $100

Joakim did an outstanding job installing all the artwork and wall hangings in my home. I highly recommend him! Not only was his work precise and professional, but he also provided helpful feedback on placement, which made a huge difference in the overall look.
Joakim was great! He did a wonderful job installing a headboard, curtain rods, mounting tv’s and hangingpictures! Offered excellent suggestions that helped complete the look of the room. We would work with him again.

Working with Joakim was a pleasure. He helped me with a gallery wall I’ve been planning for a few months. He’s very knowledgeable about the art of planning layouts, and has a great eye. I was comfortable enough to give him free rein over the project, and I’m thrilled with the result!
I would definitely use him again!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
To give you an idea of cost I typically charge $65 per hour, with the first hour (based on you location) in around Knoxville being around $100.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Generally there are two job scenarios for art installation: if you know where everything is to be hung then I can start as soon as I arrive, and if you are unsure of where you would like your art hung, I will start by getting a sense of what art work you have and do a walk through of your home to get an understanding of the space. I move the art around the house or business and then we do a walk through and talk about the best options. Once we have decided what layout makes the most of your collection, I start installation.

Studied at the Rhode Island School of Design,
