Brandi Shigley, dreamer/doer and award-winning proponent of small businesses has been hard at work transforming the former Fashion Denver retail storefront into a shared creative workplace.

Harnessing her vision to build a space as unique as the people who fill it, Shigley has partnered with designer/builder, Brad Benefiel of Benefiel Design on her renovation of 1070 Bannock Street, Suite 150 (lovingly referred to as “The 150”). The modern, tailored design is focused on cultivating ideas, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit.

The space itself, formerly a retail vehicle for local designers, has been transformed into three unique pods, each one specially handcrafted to reflect the brand and personality of its … Read more!
