About Us

Elevating brands through thoughtful design and inspired marketing strategy

Rooted in Creativity

When our founder, Deborah Brandt, moved back to her hometown of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, from New York City in 2000, she wanted to build a business that was different—one rooted in a mission of Design for Good. The early days of Fig Industries were spent in the attic of her remodeled farmhouse before our studio ultimately settled into its permanent home in the city’s historic Old Town in 2017. Those humble beginnings and simple mission have grounded our ever-growing team of designers, thinkers, marketers, and creative partners who believe in the power of collaboration, connection, and creativity to shape businesses and impact the world around us.

As we continue to expand our work and our impact, we are proud to use our talents to bring new ideas into the world—rooted in a passion to drive solutions that empower our clients and our community to grow and thrive.
