Really?Designs is a military (U.S.Navy) Veteran Owned Business ran by David, Ginger and their daughter also known as the "Boss".
As the CEO and Lead Designer, David suffers from PTSD, Anxiety and Sleepless nights. Together they have created a business because their daughter was born with a non-traumatic brain injury. They needed a home to care for her full time, thus Really?Designs was created and has been a favorite in the Veteran Community. I invite you to check out what they are doing as well as shop my own store front on their site. Want something that you don't see? Let us know!

When uncontrollable things happen, Cynthia and Shawn figured out how to cope and use their goals, dreams and visions to conquer what could have been negative experiences. They lost not only their home in the 2017 Tubbs Northern California Fires, but their community, neighborhood, business opportunities, and three pregnancies. After the fires they decided to go on an adventure because it’s one of the ways that they coped. They left for two months and traveled six countries in Europe and came back with a different perspective and ideas of making their own wine label. Once they returned to the USA they started crushing grapes and making their own wine label into a business which has now turned into The Hermosillo Family Wines label producing Pinot Noir in Sonoma County.
