Started working for the company in 2005 and has literally worked her way up through the company. Began working in the basement where an assembly line had formed to package together a 108,000-piece job. 72 pieces made a set, those pieces had to be collated; rubber banded, and then shrink-wrapped and boxed up. It was intense at times and frustrating but you have to start somewhere. Soon after that project was completed she made her way upstairs to the design department where she worked under the lead designer. Began by setting up simple magnet, banner, and sign orders, soon learning that they leave out A LOT of information in design school, and just how broad the field of graphic deign is. Each project became a learning experience – it was like learning a whole new aspect of design. Some rules that apply to a business card don’t necessarily don’t to a large store front sign. Not too long after the move to the new location she took on the position of lead designer. She works on jobs ranging from a simple auto magnet to a school breakaway banner to a museum full wall mural, business card design, to logo design, to t-shirt designs. Each day is something new and exciting – which makes her job more exciting.

Before SignFactory when I heard the word “sign” I would think of any ordinary store sign; but now the word sign has endless possibilities. Signs are everywhere – business cards, shirts, auto magnets, vehicle graphics. Working at Sign Factory has taught me so much about the design industry and just how important visuals are. You need a sign to be functional before it can be “cute”. A good designer will incorporate cuteness into functionality – and that’s my goal.
