Behind every beautifully framed piece of art is a team of experts who blend craftsmanship, creativity, and logistical know-how. At The Frame Shop, our team isn't just about putting frames around pictures—they’re consultants, artisans, installers, and curators who take pride in every detail of the framing and
installation process.
Whether advising on the best frame to complement a vintage print or mapping out the precise placement of a gallery wall in a new home, each member brings their unique skill set to the table. Their collaborative effort ensures that your artwork doesn’t just get hung—it gets elevated. This article offers a behind-the-scenes look at the roles and responsibilities of the dedicated professionals who turn blank walls into powerful visual statements.
Why Understanding Roles Matters to Your Experience
Knowing who does what in our team helps clients feel more connected to the process. Each role contributes a distinct layer to the final outcome, from creative input and technical framing to precision installation. Understanding the scope of each responsibility also allows clients to appreciate the level of expertise and care invested in their project.
Whether you're commissioning a single piece or outfitting an entire building, you'll benefit from knowing how these roles interlock. It also makes communication smoother: when you understand who’s handling what, you know exactly whom to speak with at each stage of your project. So let’s take a closer look at the professionals who make it all happen.
The Design Consultant—Your Style Interpreter
The design consultant serves as the bridge between your vision and the final product. They begin each project by listening attentively to your needs, whether you're framing personal memorabilia or a large art collection. This team member provides advice on frame styles, mat colors, textures, and finishes that will best complement both the artwork and the space where it will be displayed.
They also help determine sizing, layout preferences, and how the piece will interact with its surrounding décor. Beyond aesthetics, they consider technical aspects like conservation-grade materials for valuable works. The design consultant ensures your final piece feels custom, intentional, and cohesive with your style and space.
The Master Framer—Precision Meets Craftsmanship
The master framer is the hands-on artisan who brings the vision to life. With years of experience in frame construction and preservation techniques, this expert ensures that each piece is housed with durability and visual appeal. They cut and assemble frame mouldings, prepare mats, mount artwork, and fit glass—making sure every element aligns with professional standards.
This role also involves an eye for detail: ensuring perfect corners, dust-free glass, and acid-free materials. Whether working with a family heirloom, contemporary painting, or sports memorabilia, the master framer protects and enhances the artwork with both care and skill. Their craftsmanship ensures that every framed piece is museum-worthy.
The Installation Specialist—Bringing It All Together
Once the art is framed, the installation specialist takes over, turning framed works into focal points. This team member is responsible for securely mounting pieces on a variety of surfaces, from drywall and brick to glass partitions and high ceilings. They measure with precision, use levelers for symmetry, and install with appropriate hardware to ensure stability and safety.
The installation specialist also considers viewing angles, lighting conditions, and spatial flow, ensuring the artwork fits naturally within its environment. Whether installing a solo piece or curating an entire gallery wall, they bring logistical expertise and visual sensitivity to every job. This ensures that your artwork is not only safe but beautifully showcased.
The Logistics Coordinator—Orchestrating the Details
The logistics coordinator is the behind-the-scenes strategist who keeps everything running smoothly. From scheduling consultations and deliveries to managing inventory and coordinating installation timelines, this role ensures efficiency and accuracy at every step. They act as the communication hub between clients and team members, making sure everyone is aligned and informed.
The logistics coordinator is especially critical for large-scale projects involving multiple rooms or buildings, where timing and sequence are key. By handling the operational side of things, this professional allows the creative and technical experts to focus fully on their craft. The result is a seamless, stress-free experience for the client.
The Art Preservation Expert—Guarding the Value of Your Work
For high-value or delicate works, the art preservation expert steps in to provide specialized care. This role involves selecting materials and techniques that prevent deterioration from light, humidity, or handling. They advise on UV-protective glazing, archival backing, and sealing methods that ensure longevity without compromising aesthetics.
The preservation expert is often consulted during both the design and installation phases, especially when dealing with antiques, textiles, or mixed media. Their insight ensures that sentimental or valuable pieces are preserved for future generations. They help you not only display art beautifully but also protect its integrity and worth over time.
The Lighting Consultant—Illuminating with Intention
Proper lighting can transform how art is experienced. The lighting consultant evaluates existing conditions in a space and makes recommendations to enhance visibility and impact. They consider natural light exposure, color temperature of bulbs, and potential glare on glass surfaces.
For darker rooms or feature walls, they might suggest integrated LED art lights, track systems, or directional ceiling fixtures. They also coordinate with electricians or builders when lighting needs to be hardwired or installed during construction. This team member ensures your artwork is always seen in its best light, literally, by making illumination a key part of the overall design strategy.
The Project Consultant—Your Single Point of Contact
Overseeing the entire client journey is the project consultant, who ensures cohesion across all moving parts. This person collaborates with every team member to align vision, budget, and timeline. They facilitate initial consultations, monitor project progress, and provide updates to the client.
They also handle post-installation follow-ups to ensure satisfaction and address any adjustments or concerns. The project consultant’s holistic view makes them the go-to for complex or long-term engagements. Their role is to make the experience seamless from the first frame sample to the final hung piece. With a deep understanding of both creative and technical aspects, they ensure that each project runs smoothly and successfully.
