WHO ARE WE?

We are a small business that cares about the details.

VA Displays is a design-production studio built on a foundation of core values, client relations, and technical skills necessary for continual growth in the industry. We are a unique combination of prior business experience and education dedicated to serving Smithfield and surrounding areas. With a commitment to time tested design, we produce and install quality solutions for your business, museum or other imaginative projects.

Ernest WhiteOwner/Operator

With local roots in Virginia Beach and the Outer Banks of NC, Ernest earned two bachelors degrees from NC State University College of Design (Art & Design and Industrial Design). After a decade of managing at a premier design/fabrication company while operating a small sign business in Raleigh, he and his wife Joanna decided to make the town of Smithfield their new home and created what is now VA Displays.

Joanna WhiteDirector of Finance

Her responsibilities include general accounting, payroll, taxes, budget, and cash flow. She also works as a government contract auditor and takes care of her husband and three beautiful daughters.

As a small business in a small town we understand that “word of mouth” is the best advertising money can’t buy.

Our Philosophy:
1. You’re as good as the tools you use. In addition to continual training and education we also use the best equipment and materials.
2. High quality, fair price. Good work isn’t cheap and cheap work isn’t good.
3. Do it right the first time. We would rather go beyond expectations than risk falling short.
4. Treat others as you would like to be treated. We don’t just make beautiful things, we build relationships and help businesses grow.

Graphic Production
From Roland Inkjet Printers to OEM inks and media, we use high quality equipment so that our customers can expect high quality results. Whether you provide the art or have us design it for you, our wide format printing capabilities allow us to produce high impact, quality professional images.

With a full workshop on the premises we are able to build custom exhibits, exhibit components and signage for a variety of applications including museums, corporate lobbies, showrooms, and visitor centers.  We pay close attention to detail with a focus on quality, production and durability.
