Welcome to our fifth-annual spotlight profiling sign makers and industry professionals thirty-five years old or younger who are enjoying their careers in the sign industry—whether through management, design, production, installation, or innovation.
Our branded articles not only highlight notable projects and accomplishments that this year’s honorees have worked on but also present their thoughts on why the sign industry has been an attractive career choice for them as well as how shops can attract younger hires to their workforce.
Among this year’s interview subjects are a couple of shop owners, a production team member who has advanced wearing many different hats, a field service engineer who left his home country of Columbia to reconnect with his mother and ended up also finding a solid career, a marketer who leads her team with heart, a production lead who has gained great traction using social media, and a search consultant who finds the right people for the right sign company job.
