HAND MADE
n USING SKILL AND TALENT TO CREATE SUCCESS
E
ntrepreneurship. Innovation. Zest. In this issue
of the North County Business Journal, our cover
story focuses on a handful of artisans who are
known for their unique handmade products.
Whether it's crafting jewelry, woodwork-
ing, weaving or painting, there is a
subculture of creators in North County
making significant contributions to
the economy with their inimitable skill
and talent.
We also highlight innovative small busi-
ness and celebrated high-tech corporations. Local hard
cider brewers are making a splash and Carlsbad-based
ViaSat Inc. is outfitting Air Force One with high-speed
internet service.
Also in this issue, we examine challenges facing home
developers struggling with regulations and local nurs-
eries beset by rising water and labor costs.
Whether it be the entrepreneurship of the artisan, the
innovation of ViaSat, the zest of our brewers, or the per-
sistence of home developers, each adds a unique color to
the wonderful and vibrant tapestry of our region.
Enjoy it all in this fall edition of the Journal.
