MEET OUR
TEAM
Noyes Art Designs functions on collaboration. We are not just a team, but a family of creatives who all support and respect on another.
Sam Noyes
President
Jack of all trades, Sam is the leader who motivates, organizes, and propels the company forward. As the business manager and the head of the installation team, Sam translates the design team's vision into finished and installed pieces.
Having installed artwork since he was 15, Sam started his own art installation company. After several years, he transitioned to a Sales Rep for a national art publisher, representing 9 states during his time there. By 2006, Sam and his family made the move back to sunny Colorado, and right into Noyes Art Designs.
Graduate of Sonoma State University, husband and father of 3, he is a genius at juggling time and activities.
Adrian Kistner, EDAC, MBA
Vice President of Operations & Design
Adrian joined the Noyes Art team in 2012 after finishing her MBA from the University of Denver. With a degree in Art History from Emory University, she has melded her love for art with her penchant for organization to ensure that all projects are successfully executed.
She is always on the hunt for new artists, publishers, and trends to create unique art packages or designs for each client. Adrian has her Evidence Based Design certification for healthcare design and stays up to date on current research around this area of study.
Natalie Parsons
Vice President of Environmental Graphics
Natalie is a Massachusetts native and moved to Denver in 2020. She has five years of experience in the healthcare industry, where she created unique and meaningful experiences and solutions for clients undergoing EMR changes. Natalie has always had a passion for the arts and expresses that through volunteer work and continued education. It was Natalie's dream to combine her professional and personal interests, and joining Noyes Art Designs made that a reality!
Outside of work you can find Natalie exploring her new state. She loves hiking, biking, skiing and going to see live music.
Matthew Jesseman
Director of Design
Matthew’s passion for art and design is heavily influenced by evidence based design principles and a background in mass manufacturing design. Brought on as our in-house designer, Matthew discovered an eccentric passion for signage and wayfinding. The ability for signage to create positive environments and ease the relationship between people and architecture is what fuels his contagious enthusiasm for the practice.
When he’s not at work, Matthew can be found developing his experimental furniture collection or spending time with his nephews.
Juno Heo
Graphic Designer
Juno is a Colorado native with a big heart for print and user-based design. With their background in Communication Design, Juno combines their two loves in the Environmental Graphics team at Noyes. Juno’s experience in pre-flighting files and a keen eye for detail make them enthusiastic about pixel-perfect signage. Their love for typesetting and the rules for guides and grids help too! They especially love sign projects with bold colors, shapes, and top-notch organizational rules.
When they aren’t designing at Noyes, you can find them making zines or cafe-hopping. Maybe both at the same time.
Victor M Peña
Vice President of Installation Services
Victor is a Midwest native who moved to sunny Denver in 2021. He has over 25 years of leadership experience managing large precision manufacturing teams. An accountant turned production manager, he improved efficiency in the delivery and accuracy of machined parts for multiple automotive companies in the US. Victor now brings his attention to detail, coaching skills, and program improvement prowess to the Noyes Art Designs installation department.
Outside the office, and after his installs are complete, you can find him exploring Denver's hiking trails and running paths. He is always searching for his next pizza spot or bakery; recommendations are welcome.
