Our Story
Our Story
How did The Designery become what we are today? It all starts with Casey and Dustin Ridley, two brothers living in Georgia. They did everything together growing up, and that has smoothly transferred into their adult lives as they successfully run their business. After purchasing the company from their uncle in 2019, the Ridley brothers improved the business model, its scalability, and incorporated design services to grow the business to what it is today, The Designery!
