I can hardly believe it, but today marks the first day in my new office space. It’s an incredible feeling to be sitting in a space that offers so much potential for the future. I like to tell people that my goals change from day to day, and it’s true for the most part, but moving my office downtown was a big step. Not only is it a professional location where I can entertain my clients, but it also offers the possibilities of screen printing and operating a letterpress. I’m excited to see where things go from here.
The space is located at 21 North Prince Street in Lancaster City. It’s on the fourth floor of the same building that houses Prince Street Cafe. It’s also right across from the historic Fulton Opera House (see the view from my window) and on the same block as Central Market. In short, it’s right in the thick of the arts district and an easy 15-minute walk from my house.
I’ll be sharing some room with Tim Hoover and The Infantree. The Infantree began several years ago as a gallery and artists’ studio, and has continued to evolve. Tim and I will be starting a new branding effort in the near future to reposition The Infantree name and create a collective area for us to work together. We spent a few days the last several weeks painting and cleaning things up. We transformed the one room from an ugly teal to a neutral pearl white, which complements the exposed brick of the gallery perfectly.
Lancaster is an amazing place to live and work. I’m looking forward to pursuing a rewarding design career in this truly unique town.
I’d love to show things off to anyone who’s interested, so feel free to drop by. The stairs to the fourth floor will give you some good exercise!
