Peter Poanessa and his shop, Keene Signworx, were first featured in the September/October 1991 issue of SignCraft. Peter built a new shop four years ago, and continues to develop the aspect of the business that he likes best—high-end dimensional signs.

How are things going in your new shop?

Last year was by far our best year ever. It was really gratifying for me in a couple of ways. First, I’ve finally gotten comfortable with turning away work that wasn’t a good fit for the shop. I have a hard time keeping the ball rolling on more complex work when I’m juggling a dozen creative projects and at the same time I’m having to order blanks for some No Parking signs and make sure that the banner gets made up in time for the concert.
