Rockstar of the Quarter: Kelli Lax

Oct 15, 2024 | News, Rockstar of the Quarter

Creative Sign Rockstar of the Quarter goes to…. Kelli Lax!

Position: Senior Sign Consultant

Trait of Extreme Awesomeness: Identity

What her team says about her: “She has changed the company! Work ethic like no other. You can tell she really cares about her customers’ projects.”

“Kelli is a staple of Creative Sign Company and is a big reason why I am here.”

“We would not be where we are if Kelli didn’t help lead the charge.”

Kelli has been helping businesses get amazing signage for 29 years, but it wasn’t until January of 2011 that Creative Sign Owner Todd Thomas was finally able to get her to join the Creative Sign family. Kelli’s impact to the company was immediately felt, as her over 18 million in sales over 13 years required Creative Sign to hire across all departments.

Congrats, Kelli! Thank you for all your hard work!
