Today we are extremely honored to feature Deb Brandt of Fig®. Supporting and engaging with the community, Fig® is a highly recognized and respected presence in Lancaster, PA. Much more than a publication, Fig® describes itself as “a hyper-local, super-social communications package that reflects the soul of a city.” In addition to Lancaster, Fig® now works with the cities and boroughs of West Chester, Kennett Square, Bethlehem, and Columbia, South Carolina. We thank Deb and the talented Fig® team for giving back so well to the community. Follow these guy’s day to day interaction with the community on instagram!

Karen is the vision, hands, and writer behind Masters of Their Craft features and will take it from here….

“There’s nothing half so pleasant as coming home again,” once observed poet Margaret Elizabeth Sangster. Her words, spoken over a century ago, encapsulate Deb Brandt’s life rather well. Deb’s life follows the plotline of a story we’ve heard time and again, yet never grows old. Girl grows up in a small town, moves to the city that never sleeps, works in the big corporate skyscrapers; the lights one day lose their luster, and girl (older and wiser) returns to the home she left but that never left her. Fast forward another fifteen years, to 2015, and her home of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, would possess even greater vitality and flourish with entrepreneurs, shops, and businesses partly due to one enamored native—Deb Brandt.

Our Masters of Their Craft series is monthly features where we give a glimpse into the life, vision, and work of artists, entrepreneurs, craftsmen, musicians, business owners, innovators, and fellow dreamers who excel in their area of expertise. They use their gifting with passion and excellence. Their work is tried and true. By sharing these innovators with others who we know will value the labor of their hands as much as we do, we aim to make a humble attempt at giving them honor.
