sarah.placente@signdesign.com/ ext. 213
Sarah came to Sign Design in 2012 after eight years in accounting and customer service in the banking industry. She works in collaboration with the department managers and sales team to create estimates and cost completed projects. Sarah is also trained in purchasing and scheduling and jumps in to assist whenever needed.
Sarah graduated from New England College of Business & Finance with a degree in Business and a concentration in Accounting. She enjoys the challenge of sourcing materials to make our client’s visions a reality. Sarah’s superpower is detail orientation and she uses that daily to keep our estimates competitive and accurate!
