Name Margeaux Wymer Company The W Gallery From working in a gallery to owning the gallery, Margeaux made it happen when she saw an opportunity and took the chance. Previously Margeaux worked with a partner showcasing jewelry in their Ohio based gallery. It was successful, but she always dreamed about how she would do things differently if Name Gibson Morales Company Mo Bros Books Oh, brother! Gibson Morales and his brother Vicente started Mo Bros Books as a way to get their Young Adult Dystopian Adventure stories to readers. Their books speak primarily to the teenage video gamer crowd, though they also pride themselves on witty satires and whodunnit crime novels. she made all the decisions. So when her partner decided not to renew the building lease, she realized opportunity was knocking. Margeaux signed the lease and expanded the space to form The W Gallery, offering handmade jewelry as well as pottery, photographs and paintings from local artists. But a new stand-out space needed a new logo, which is where 99designs stepped in. And after she finalized her logo, Margeaux continued working with her winning designer to create new business cards and signage. To date, we hear that Margeaux still gets compliments on her logo from customers walking by, which gives us all the warm fuzzies… Art begets art, no? Gibson holds his writing to a high standard and doesn’t want to settle when it comes to design, which is why he continually turns to 99designs to help him create top-quality books for readers. “I’m very hands on in the design process and 99designs encourages feedback, so it works very well for me.” F ܈\›]\
