About Us
With some adaptation, the original 12 Points of the Scout Law became the Guiding Values for the new company: 12-Point SignWorks. In 2021, 12-Point SignWorks transitioned under the direction of new owners, Natalie and Patrick Owings, who happily continue building upon the legacy Murray Johns built.
Natalie received her bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, with an emphasis in Accounting from California State University, Northridge. She followed this with a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license for the state and trained in the Certification Program in the Business and Management of Entertainment at the University of California, Los Angeles. Realizing quickly she needed a creative environment to thrive, Natalie made a move to Paramount Studios, followed by The Walt Disney Company for several years. Over her career, her roles in business expanded from audit to financial reporting, to business operations, and ultimately to Executive Vice President of Finance and Operations.
Patrick’s work roots start with signs, back when he worked for his father at a large corporation in their marketing department. He found himself on the shop floor loving every minute of the excitement of production and bringing brands and stories to life. During that time, he obtained a bachelor’s degree in Engineering, with a master’s in Materials (engineering) from the University of California, Northridge. He later obtained his bachelor’s in Accounting from Lipscomb University to enhance his business knowledge as he oversaw marketing and events companies.
In addition to education and experience tailor-made for running a business, Natalie and Patrick are thrilled to return to a creative environment to put their branding, marketing, entertainment, and engineering experience to work with custom signage and graphics.
Natalie says, “We already held each of the 12 points of the Scout Law to high standards before having a son who wanted to become an Eagle Scout. When we found there was a man with a business that created his work environment around those principles, it was further confirmation we were in the right place with the right company.”
