How did you start your business?
After studying marimba at Humboldt State University in the early 1980's, I wanted to pursue my studies in playing marimba. I quickly realized I could not afford to purchase one, so I decided to build one for myself. After building several instruments and very much enjoying the process, I decided to turn my hobby into a business. We sell worldwide and have built instruments for many of the great orchestras throughout the world in addition to universities and schools

How did you start your business?
LACO Associates, a prominent firm with offices in Northern California, was founded by Ilmars Lagzdins in 1954, with an aspiration to serve the extensive Northern California region. In due course, Lagzdins joined forces with Guy Conversano, and together, they incorporated the business in 1975, deriving the company name “LACO” from the first two letters of their respective last names. Despite significant growth, LACO Associates has managed to retain the responsiveness and personal touch of a smaller firm while effectively handling complex and sophisticated projects to meet client needs.

How did you start your business?
As a personal style coach based in the California Bay Area, I equip women from all over the world with the tools they need to make getting dressed easy and fun. Trained by Carla Mathis in the art and application of color and style, I specialize in creating custom color palettes, style guides, wardrobe consultations, and personal shopping. My style journey began in 2014, when I moved to Japan and was inspired by the elegance I saw in Japanese fashion. I learned that we can create our own harmony when we balance what we wear with who we are.

How did you start your business?
I'm a jeans-and-T-shirt kind of girl. I grew up in the San Francisco suburbs. My rather innocent upbringing allowed plenty of time for sports and artistic endeavors. I have always enjoyed making things with my hands.I cut my first linoleum block in college and liked it, but it wasn’t until my internship with David Lance Goines in 1999 that I discovered what it could mean to me. The “handcraftedness” and the texture within the solid color of linoleum block prints spoke to me. He put me to work cutting linoleum blocks and introduced me to letterpress printing and so many other fabulous things and people. Using Mr. Goines’ press, I started printing things for friends and family. After a few projects, I knew I was hooked. I began acquiring printing equipment in 2003 and set up my own studio in Arcata, CA in early 2005.I also got married in 2005. In 2007 I needed to take a bit of a break from the biz. I had kids in 2008 and 2011. In late 2013, I decided to bring Just My Type Letterpress back to life. I worked out of my garage until December 2015 when I started printing the packaging for Dick Taylor Craft Chocolate. In Fall 2016, one thing led to another and my friend and former co-worker, Siobhan Ayres, and I made one of our dreams real. It took about 15 years, but I finally got my shop with a working press in the window.UPDATE: After 3-1/2 years at 501 Third Street, I moved around the corner to the front of the building! (235 F Street) The new shop is bigger, better and the presses are REALLY REALLY in the window!
