Leslie Hart-Davidson, owner of Hart-Davidson Designs, hoped her old Williamston studio would serve as her working environment
for five years. But rapid growth has cut that projection short by 49
months.
In
September, Hart-Davidson moved her full-service interior design firm
into a 2,000 square foot commercial space in Holt. The new
Hart-Davidson headquarters is located at 2460 Cedar Street.
“We were forced to move because we outgrew our
space so quickly,” says Sara Ramsey with Hart-Davidson Designs. “We
wanted to be there for five years, but were only there for 11 months
because we were literally climbing on top of each other. This space is
double the size of our old space.”
In February 2007, Hart-Davidson had one
employee and one intern. By February 2008, Hart-Davidson added another
full time employee and eight more interns. Now they have 18 employees.
“In two years we’ve just exploded,” Ramsey says.
Although they wanted to stay at their
Williamston location, Ramsey says they’ve found a good home in Holt.
Hart-Davidson Designs will have a grand opening celebration at 6:30
p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 18 at their new location.
“Holt has a lot of things going on right now,”
Ramsey says. “They’re bringing in a lot of businesses. It’s a good time
to be growing with Holt.”
In May, Capital Gains highlighted Hart-Davidson Designs’ 41 percent growth.
