Meet Our Team
Dawn Homa | Owner
Leaving Corporate America was the best thing I ever did! The sign industry is so much fun and creative. I love to brainstorm with our clients and staff to come up with unusual ways to make signs. Every day I learn something new and different. We have a great team at Signarama Brighton and that is the key to our success and growth
I love animals and that is why we are an animal-friendly shop. My dog, Maggie, and cat, Pumpkin, come in each day. It’s nice to have them here. Our customers also enjoy coming in to see them.
When I’m not at the shop, you’ll find me in the barn with my horse and donkeys, working in the yard, walking my 3 dogs, or relaxing and reading a book. One day I hope to write a book about the sign industry. You really can’t make some of this stuff up!
Laura Long | Office Manager
I began my career in the sign industry while attending the Art Institute of Colorado in 2000. After 16 years in the sign industry, I have gotten to experience many aspects of sign making from design and production to quoting and project management. I love the creative aspects of the sign industry and the ever-changing technology. When I am not making signs I enjoy spending time with my daughter Hannah at the park or visiting the Museum of Nature and Science. I also enjoy reading, art and music. I have also been known to be an excellent singer, while driving in my car, alone….
Liz Gutierrez | Sales Manager
My name is Liz, I was born and raised in Brighton, CO. I’m the Sales Manager. This position fits like a glove for me because I enjoy meeting new people and getting to work with a great team at Signarama. I like helping in my community since my sisters have been involved for several years. In my free time, I spend time with my family, friends and watching my Broncos kick butt! My ultimate dream is to win the lottery and travel the world, it’s still a work in progress. On that note, POSITIVE VIBES ONLY!
Mallory Lynn | Marketing Manager
I started with Dawn back in 2014 as a Graphic Designer and Sales support. Over the past 8 years, I have had the opportunity to go to ISA (International Sign Expo) multiple times (this year I will be there as an ISA Elite!), become Digital Marketing Certified, attend tradeshows, register for countless webinars, seminars and learning opportunities to expand my knowledge as a designer and sign expert. Since starting with Dawn, I have moved 3 times within the state of Colorado, I got married and became a Mom! I’m hoping my passion for all things creative rubs off on my daughter so I can continue the tradition of taking her to the Denver Art Museum every first Saturday of the month. My mom used to do this with me and it eventually sparked a passion for my career. In my spare time, you might find me camping, hiking, at the pool with my daughter or crafting.
Rachel Zuckerman | Graphic Designer
Hello! My name is Rachel Zuckerman and I am a fresh graduate out of the University of Colorado Denver. My major is in graphic design, and I am excited to get started in the signage industry! My passions for design include both 2D and 3D graphics, as well as photography and animation! I’m always looking to learn something new and grow every single day. I am thrilled to begin my career at Signarama.
Daniel Gallina | Production Lead
Hello, my name is Daniel, Dan, Danny… all are accepted! My design/production career began in the events industry. Designing and producing everything from dance floor graphics, stage backdrops and temporary graphic arches. Here at Signarama Brighton, I oversee everything that happens in the production area and even sometimes help out with installs. When I am not at work, I like to explore the mountains of Colorado by hiking and snowboarding. I, also, have an extensive plant collection and am always on the lookout for something rare and unusual.
Dae Stiefvater | Customer Account Specialist
Hello, I'm Dae and I am a Customer Account Specialist here at Signarama Brighton. I was born and raised in Westminster, CO, but found myself here in Brighton looking for a career that excited me and inspired creativity. Signarama Brighton is the perfect place for these things, and I've quickly found myself at home here. In my free time, I enjoy making music, playing video games, or watching movies that I've seen a thousand times. I'm also an avid fan of the outdoors and traveling, and my grandma says I'm a handsome young man.
Kodak Shepard | Graphics & Production Assistant
Hi! My name is Kodak and I have close to 5 years of previous printing experience producing business cards, blueprints, and portfolios. In the shop at Signarama Brighton, I produce vehicle graphics, lightbox faces, ADA signs, yard signs and engraved awards! The best part about my job is working on every job that comes back into production because each job is different and requires a different skill set. I also truly love the amazing team that we’ve built and knowing I can count on them for anything! When I’m not at the shop, I like to spend my time playing video games, watching scary movies and attending events downtown!
JB Colson | Production & Fabrication
Hello, my name is Jamenson, but all my friends call me JB! I’m new to the sign industry but excited to see how everything works. I have past experience doing stock in a warehouse but have loved learning and printing signs on our flatbed. When I’m not at work, I enjoy playing video games with friends, longboarding and baking!
Mugo & Poncho | CSO (Chiefs of Snack Operations)
We are Mugo (black and brown chihuahua) and Poncho (tan chihuahua)! When we aren’t sleeping on the office chairs, we love to run and play and see what our team is creating. We also alert the team when deliveries come around to the back of the shop! Our favorite thing to do every day is trade lunches.
Frankie | CBP (Chief Ball Player)
I’m Francis Lynn (Frankie for short). I was born on a farm in Colorado Springs where my mom found me. I am the runt amongst my brother and sister. My birth mom (with one good eye) was full of love and warmth. I guess you could say this was a little foreshadowing for my life because 2 years ago I officially went blind. I haven’t let it deter my way of life whatsoever! I am still the chief ballplayer as I am an expert in listening and smelling where the ball is. The biggest impact this probably has had on me is those dang rabbits! I just can’t tell where they are anymore. I love to camp with my hoomans and go on walks. If anything going blind has gotten me more sympathy snacks!
Max | Director of Entertainment
Some call me Max, some call me Maximus Von Liectenstein and some just call me Maxi. I don’t care what you call me as long as there are food and belly rubs involved. It is my duty to greet everyone who walks through that door! I use to love when the cat tower was in the shop because I would jump in the first level and take naps.
Mason | Executive Director of Security
I LOVE playing with tennis balls but am very picky about which ones and only like the ones that squeak. If my brother, Hogan, has the squeaky ball, I will grab it away from him! I know lots of tricks and love to show them off. Sometimes I get so excited I just start going through my repertoire. This usually gets me lots of treats! I used to be afraid of people, but now I think everyone is my friend.
Hogan | Operations Manager of Fashion and Wardrobe
I may look like a fancy pants, but I can wrestle and play with the best of them. I love my fox stuffed animal and want to take it everywhere. My mom won't let me take it outside. But sometimes I'm really fast when I run out the door and she can't grab it from me.
