Meet Shop Made in DC Owner Stacey Price

Stacey Price needs more jam. Greeting cards, candles, and sassy RBG prints, she’s got. It’s the jam that’s missing at her Shop Made in DC store on Wisconsin Avenue – a retail incubator dedicated to products designed, crafted, built, and made in the District. “It sounds so silly, but the two j’s – jewelry and local jam – are what I need more of when it comes to product.”

In this week’s byGeorge blog, the passionate entrepreneur shares how growing up in a small, Southern manufacturing town deeply influenced her career path, the importance of giving DC’s creative class an opportunity to make a living, and why retail is far from dying.
