The {SIG} Team consists of a few stay-at-home mommies trying to help out our families. We are lovingly referred to as The {A} Team because...well, we all have {A} names. Astrid, Andrea, & Anne!
About Astrid:
Founder and CEO of {SIG}nature Creations by day...mom to triplets, wife to Todd by night AND day! Yes it's a full and crazy life, but I love every minute of it! Having always held artistic tendencies, be it crafting, painting, music, cooking and yes, sewing, I have always had the need and desire to create.
They say that necessity is the mother of invention...and that's exactly how all of this came about. Wanting to make diaper cakes as gifts, but on a triplet household budget, birthed the idea that is {SIG}. As the kids got a bit older, the desire to put them in cute clothes at an affordable price led to my return to sewing and from that point on...I was hooked!
Fabric is a love...true love. My mind is always going on new and better ideas for {SIG} fashions and how to make them work for every member of the family. Aside from mommyhood, I couldn't ask for a job more well-suited for me. Being able to do this AND stay home with my (not-so-little-anymore) babies is better than anything I could have hoped for!
When spare time does manage to show itself, you can find me reading a rock autobiography, going to rock concerts (love me some Motley Crue!), having a glass of my favorite wine or trying to recreate delicious dishes from my homeland of Argentina.

About Andrea:
Proudly carrying the title of "Vice President of Production" for {SIG}nature Creations...I am the second part of this amazing crew.

My first and most important job on this team is the nitty-gritty sewing. Being trained in the ways of Astrid, I make it a point to ensure that {SIG} quality is never compromised. Fortunately for me, I also get to work with Astrid in the design process and love trying out and tweaking patterns. Combining fabrics though...that is where the real fun is!
Aside from this fabulous part of my life, but most importantly, I am a SAHM to two children, ages 3 and 12 and wife to my dear husband. I enjoy listening to alternative music and folk rock and enjoy any day that involves taking the kids to the park and/or watching my husband skateboard.
About Anne:
Part 3 of the {A} Team reporting for duty! A stay at home mommy to 4 little girls (a six year old "big girl" and 3 year old triplets), I'm a native New Yorker and married to my high school sweetheart. I've always had the arts in my blood! I've been a church music minister since the age of five and continue to sing in church to this day. Professionally I have sung with Westminster Choir, Westminster Singers and most recently, the Baltimore Symphony Chorus. I am also a HUGE musical theater buff! Broadway has always been a dream of mine.
Not seeing sewing on my list? You didn't miss anything! I have an artistic eye, but to actually put it together with my own hands is NOT my thing. So, what do I bring to the {SIG} "table"? First and foremost - I am a {SIG} customer. I enter every {SIG} "pow wow" from the customers' perspective. So, customer service is my number one gig. The rest of my job consists of being the {SIG} "go-to" gal. Need emails answered? Too bogged down with sewng and pattern writing to post on the Facebook page? Need someone to run the big uploads and sales? Invoicing? No time to focus on marketing? Someone to bounce fabric/design ideas off of? I'M YOUR GAL.
Hard to put a title on me...secretary? Customer service rep? Marketing director? Accounts payable/receivable? The truth is, it doesn't matter. We are all stay at home mom's who have come together in with a common goal. To "revolutionize family fashion." What's so revolutionary you ask? How about 3 women working together to make beautiful, custom clothing that families can actually afford? How about creating an accessible environment for the "vendor" and "customer" to communicate and share a little bit of our lives together? How about stay at home moms working hard, filling in the gaps for each other, cheering each other on with fun, friendship and no drama? Sounds pretty revolutionary to me. Welcome to {SIG} and the true meaning of The {A}Team.
