How did you get into the graphic design industry?

I began my design career as a graphic designer for the phone book creating yellow pages ads. During that time I realized I craved the stories behind the businesses that I was creating for. My husband and I decided to start a family and when I was six and a half months pregnant, I quit my full time job to start Worx from my couch. From the couch to the kitchen table, to the garage, to the basement, we’ve steadily grown over the years. We’re now located in Mulberry Lofts in Hagerstown and use our space as an entreprenurial hub – a creative, inspiring space where entrepreneurs can rent a desk as needed. We work with entrepreneurs to align their internal vision with their external brand. Identity systems and office branding are our specialty.

What do you love most about being a business owner in Frederick?

I love the Frederick community because of its infectious energy. Everywhere you go, people are doing things that bring them joy and that spreads amongst the community.

What makes your business standout in the industry and the area?

Branding office interiors is a specialty service that we offer. When you think about branding, your office space is often one of the last things to align with your identity. We see your office or retail space as a 360 degree experience that enhances your brand and retains clients/customers.
