MAUK SWANSON, LLC SIGNAGE CONSULTATION & DESIGN SERVICES

about me

Hello - I'm Andrea and in 2005 I took a job in a sign shop and have been in the industry ever since!

I started out running a small sign router, the laser engraver and manually applying Braille beads with a tiny vacuum contraption. Throughout the years I worked my way into sales, design and project management and in 2020 I took the leap and started my own business.

Working in the various positions taught me how each step of the process affects the other. Now when I design I look at more than just the drawing itself - I think about efficiencies in production and installation as well as where there could be cost savings or if another material is better for the final application.
