Cerebral – We Understand
Our process begins with our estimating. Lori Fraenza, our Lead Estimator, has been working at Garnett Sign Studio since 1994 and has a key eye for detail when reviewing a set of plans or design drawings. Her expertise helps identify any issues related to questions or ambiguities early in the process.

Estimates are reviewed by our Operations Manager, Ernie Wright. Ernie began working at Garnett Sign Studio in 1992. After working his way through the shop as an engraver, fabricator and machinist, Ernie was promoted into management in 2004 as a Production Manager and promoted again in 2005 to his current position as Operations Manager. Ernie has a keen eye for fabrication techniques and the ability to identify Design Engineering opportunities that would be included in our detailed quote.
