The Brainstorm Agency is the brainchild of Emily Young.
What started out as a solo-venture of offering graphic design services became a collection of small businesses that are run by Emily's family.
She still does graphic design, because she just can't help herself.
Dog Ear Books
Opened in 2016, this mother-daughter duo took on the responsibility of making sure their city still had a "soul". After Hastings shut down, there was no longer a new bookstore in the community. Dog Ear Books made sure that was a short-lived problem.
