The great work that INTERSIGN does would be impossible without our many fantastic sign artisans! Our artisans who work in different departments, all of which are vital to getting signs to where they need to be.
One of these amazing artisans is our national account manager, Dyta (Dee-ta) Kodirun. We asked Dyta to talk about herself, her passion for signs, and her interests:
Q: Where are you originally from, and where do you live now?
Dyta: I grew up in the Washington, DC area. I just moved back here almost 2 years ago after living in Chattanooga for around 10 years and then Detroit for 2 years.
Q: How long have you worked in the sign industry and/or with INTERSIGN?
DK: I’ve been in the industry since September 2013, and the whole time, I’ve been with INTERSIGN!
Q: What’s the best part of your job?
DK: The coolest part of being a sign artisan iseeing our signs out in the wild and even on TV sometimes.
Q: What’s one thing many professionals don’t often know about signs?
DK: They usually don’t know how detailed a sign is and how many people work on the single sign. The majority of our signs are handmade and go through many departments before it reaches your property. Each sign is made with pride and love by each and every one of us.
Q: If you had unlimited money and could go anywhere for a week, where would you go and why?
DK: I would travel up to the coast of the Arctic Bay to see my favorite anima, the narwhal. They don’t survive captivity, so it would be a dream come true to go on an expedition to see a few.
Q: What advice you’d give to someone looking to enter the signage biz?
DK: Details. Details. Details. It’s all about the details, so don’t assume anything when it comes to material, color, compliancy, etc.
Q: Outside of helping clients get the best signs ever, what do you enjoy doing?
DK: My favorite pastimes are putting together puzzles and going on walks/hikes with my dogs.
Q: What travel accessory do you have to have on you?
DK: I would be lost without the entertainment, games, and movies on my iPad.
Q: What was your best inflight experience?
DK: I was once one of 3 passengers on the plane, so we could sit anywhere. It was nice not having to deal with a crowded space or noise from other passengers. We even flew through a lightning storm and at one point the lightning went through the plane!
