Economic Forecast: Damon Romanello, CEO, Studio+

Company: Founded in 2011 by CEO Damon Romanello, Studio+ has grown into an integrated services design firm with 68 employees and offices in Fort Myers, Irvine Calif., and, as of this fall, Sarasota. While its reputation and client base in health care, senior living, acute care and education facilities has grown, so has its offerings. In October, the company added its own line of flooring products and installation services.

“We do architecture and interior design, but we also have the flooring surfaces division and have launched our own private label flooring products,” says Romanello. “That has fueled some of the growth in all our areas except in California, where we don’t do flooring.”
