CRAIG ROSS AND DOUG MARTIN
MARTIN DAVID DESIGNS

 


Doug Ross and Craig Martin opened their business as partners on September 1, 1999. Their florist and event enterprise specializes in floral creations for all celebrations of life.

In February 2002, with a loan from Women’s Economic Ventures’ Small Business Loan Fund (SBLF), Martin David Designs moved to its current location in Santa Barbara’s Five Points Shopping Center. This relocation to a high-traffic, highly visible storefront “has made all the difference in the world to us,” says Doug.
The business is set to expand again with the launch of Kauaiconcierge, personal shopping, floral and event services on Kauai, Hawaii. The Santa Barbara floral boutique, open Monday-Saturday, is a slice of mainland paradise featuring creative, custom florals and gifts.

Their clients, including WEV graduates, support and encourage Doug and Craig to persevere.

Indulge yourself, your office lobby, a client or dear friend with scheduled weekly deliveries of colorful florals to the business or home.
