Meet Zobo Custom: Where Union Expertise Meets Maker InnovationA woman and dog-owned small business built for the film, TV, and entertainment industry
The Story Behind Zobo Custom
Every great production starts with a vision—and often, a scrappy team figuring out how to make it happen. Zobo Custom was born from exactly that spirit.
Founded by a union graphic designer, Zobo Custom didn't start as a full-service production partner. It started as a cost entry point into maker technology. What began as a practical way to affordably access tools like laser cutting, engraving, 3D printing, and custom fabrication quickly revealed something bigger: a genuine opportunity to serve an industry we already knew inside and out.
Built by the Industry, For the Industry
Film and television production moves fast. Deadlines are non-negotiable, budgets are tight, and the details matter—whether it's a hero prop for the art department or personalized wrap gifts that actually feel meaningful.
We get it. We've been there.
Zobo Custom understands the unique pressures of entertainment production because we come from it. We know that when the art department needs a custom sign, engraved plaque, or branded prop by tomorrow, "tomorrow" means tomorrow. We know that wrap gifts aren't just swag—they're a thank-you that needs to land right.
Always Evolving, Always Adding Tech
One thing that sets Zobo Custom apart: we never stop upgrading.
Maker technology evolves fast, and we evolve with it. We're constantly investing in new equipment, software, and techniques to expand what we can offer. Whether it's:
Precision laser engraving and cutting for props, signage, and set dressing
Custom fabrication for art department needs
Personalized production gifts and wrap items that go beyond the generic
Rapid prototyping when you need to see it before you build it
...we're always looking for the next tool or technique that helps us deliver better, faster, and more affordably.
Woman & Dog Owned (Yes, Really)
We're proud to be a woman-owned small business—and yes, our four-legged co-founder is very much involved in morale and quality control. When you work with Zobo Custom, you're not feeding a corporate machine. You're supporting a lean, passionate operation that genuinely cares about every project.
