Tell us how and when you began your career in the profession you are in:
My career in the architectural signage industry started in my family business in the ‘80s. I was in college studying to be a music teacher and there were ongoing cuts in arts education. Employment prospects were few. My father encouraged me to work in the family business while I figured out my next steps. And here I am, 32 years later still working in the architectural signage industry.
What is your current position?
I am currently the Vice President of Sales at North Star Signs, Inc.
Why did you choose the field/profession you are in today?
I would say that it “chose” me since I did not start out looking for this to become my lifelong career.
What was your greatest professional accomplishment in 2020?
Being able to keep the doors of our company open safely and giving all our employees an opportunity to work on “essential” projects as well as our back log of projects during the COVID lock down.
What was your most notable project, deal or transaction in 2020?
We completed an exterior “design / build” project for Tower Center in East Brunswick. The project included designing and locating new site signs for Wayfinding and Identification of Tower One, Tower Two, the Hilton and three parking garages. We have also worked with several of our clients to complete their corporate reopening projects, providing COVID protocol signage.
