ABOUT US

Blueline Signs was built on equal parts creativity, craftsmanship, and grit — with deep Oklahoma roots.

Our story starts with founder Leah Gravis, whose path into the sign industry began long before Blueline Signs ever had a name. While attending Western State College of Colorado for Graphic Design, Leah spent her evenings working at a local printing company, learning the foundations of print production from the ground up. Offset presses, plating, bindery, die-cutting — this hands-on experience shaped her understanding of how design and production truly work together. She graduated in 2002 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a deep appreciation for both art and process.

​

In 2003, Leah moved to San Diego and entered the sign industry full time. There, she was introduced to large-format digital printing, vinyl, banners, signage, and vehicle wraps. By working for two sign companies at the same time, she gained exposure to multiple approaches to sign making, from traditional hand-painted signs, carpentry, and sandblasting to modern vinyl applications and digital production. That combination of old-school craftsmanship and evolving technology would later become a core philosophy at Blueline Signs.

After relocating back to Oklahoma in 2006, Leah spent seven years working at a small Broken Arrow sign shop. When that shop dissolved, she found herself at a crossroads. With years of industry experience but limited resources, she took a leap of faith. As a single mother of two, opening a full shop wasn’t immediately possible, but starting small was. With a new computer, a small plotter, and space carved out of her sunroom and garage, Blueline Signs was born. What started as a home-based operation quickly grew through word of mouth and strong client relationships.

​

As demand increased, so did the need for space and equipment. By the second year, Blueline Signs added an industrial sewing machine for banners and a custom work table, but it became clear that growth would require a commercial space. With the support of friends and family, Blueline Signs moved into its first shop in December of 2014. Soon after, the business expanded again, adding a large-format printer, laminator, and plotter in early 2015. This allowed Blueline Signs not only to better serve its own clients, but also to provide wholesale printing services to other sign shops.

​

Today, Blueline Signs continues to grow with a focus on quality, consistency, and long-term relationships. From business cards and banners to vehicle wraps, signage, decals, murals, engraving, and custom projects, everything we produce is rooted in experience, accountability, and pride in our work.
