Creative Sign Designs Expands Environmental Graphic Design Studio
Creative Sign Designs adds Amy Gullickson & Alicia Hanson to its EGD team.
The Environmental Graphic Design (EGD) Studio at Creative Sign Designs is pleased to announce the addition of Amy Gullickson — who has spent the last decade developing wayfinding signage systems and creating efficient and consistent processes across multiple, dynamic design teams.
In her new role, Gullickson will manage all internal and external EGD project timelines as well as oversee quality control for the department. Additionally, Gullickson will be tasked with evolving the standard operating procedures within the department to better support client needs.
“We are excited to elevate our approach and demonstrate increased responsiveness to clients’ needs through the expansion of our EGD Studio,” said Jamie Harden, president and CEO at Creative Sign Designs. “This expansion, supported by Amy’s experience and expertise, is going to enhance our clients’ creative visions – by bringing streamlined processes and technologies to the forefront, capitalizing on all opportunities to feature client originality.”
Alongside the hiring of Gullickson, Alicia Hanson, is transitioning into a new role as EGD studio creative lead. Hanson is a 25-year EGD veteran and will provide creative direction for the studio moving forward: overseeing all aspects of the design process from concept creation to design development. In addition, Hanson will be responsible for developing and maintaining the vision for the studio, ensuring all projects are aligned with the client’s overall aesthetic and brand identity.
“During her time with us, Alicia has already demonstrated an unmatched ability to bring creative visions to life,” said Adam Wold, director of project development at Creative Sign Designs. “We look forward to her continued growth here and are excited to see the new projects she touches in the studio.”
In her efforts, Hanson will also support Gullickson to ensure quality control across all EGD Studio output. Both Hanson and Gullickson will report to Wold.
According to Creative Sign Designs, the Environmental Graphic Design Studio exists to bring each client’s vision to life in a way that enhances the visitors’ experience: leaving a positive, lasting impression. The studio was created in 2018 and has since worked on projects like Feeding Tampa Bay, USF Honors College, Hewanorra International Airport, and Renata at Lakewood Ranch. Creative Sign Designs stated that having an EGD studio in-house has allowed CSD to streamline the design process, particularly during the initial phases of a project.
