Artwork and printing for real-world spaces.
Urban Architectural Finishes develops custom artwork and prints wall graphics directly on suitable surfaces for homes, businesses, and public spaces. UAF manages artwork preparation and on-site wall printing from first review through the completed print.
Our Approach
One team from concept through on-site printing.
Plan
—review artwork, production requirements, site conditions, and access
Produce
—prepare the artwork and print the approved design on the selected wall or panel
Print on site
—protect the surrounding space, print the approved artwork directly on the wall, and leave a clean handoff
Founder & Principal
Matthew Giejda
Matthew Giejda founded UAF to bring artwork preparation, printing, and job-site coordination together. His background spans Navy aircraft maintenance, commercial facilities operations, high-end property services, multi-site logistics, regulated site work, and public-facility maintenance. The common thread is careful planning, precise work, and dependable coordination in active spaces.
Operating principle
Communication before surprises.
Matthew believes clear communication is paramount to every successful project. Clients and project partners can reach him directly from planning through the on-site printing—not only at scheduled check-ins. He keeps everyone informed about what is happening, what comes next, and where a decision is needed. He raises concerns early and works through potential problems before they become delays, visible defects, or surprises.
Background
What this experience means for your project.
Precision and documented process
In the United States Navy, Matthew served in AIMD—the Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department—maintaining aircraft engine systems where tolerances could be smaller than the thickness of a sheet of paper. The work required exact measurement, documented procedures, inspection, and accountability. Separately, years later, he worked as a vendor on a 60-acre radiologically controlled forestry-clearing project governed by strict federal handling procedures. Together, those experiences built the precision, documentation, and compliance habits UAF now applies to artwork preparation, equipment setup, and print checks.
Occupied-building coordination
Matthew managed 2,000,000 square feet across a 12-property commercial portfolio that included indoor malls, Class A office buildings, and shopping centers anchored by major grocery stores and national retailers such as Lowe’s. The work required coordinating tenants, vendors, access windows, procurement cycles, and building standards while the properties remained active. His public-facility experience added another layer of scheduling and occupancy constraints. That experience applies to on-site printing: plan around people and daily operations, protect the space, and communicate clearly with everyone involved.
Crews, schedules, and property care
Following his uncle’s death, Matthew stepped into management of his family’s landscape company, overseeing crews, schedules, client expectations, and property care on high-end residential work. Separately, he managed snow and ice contracts for two hospitals, where overnight response, clear access, and hard deadlines supported facilities that could not stop operating. Those responsibilities taught him to plan ahead, communicate clearly, and take ownership when conditions change—the same approach UAF brings to careful site protection, tight work windows, and dependable project coordination.
