For over 16 years, Elle A. Design has been a pillar of creativity and innovation in Logan County. What began as a one-woman operation has blossomed into a thriving design studio known for its unique blend of artistic flair and technical expertise. Lindsey McGlone, the Owner and Creative Director of Elle A. Design, discovered her love for art at five years old. This early passion for creativity laid the foundation for what would eventually become a successful design studio. Lindsey always knew she wanted to be an artist, and in 2008, she turned her lifelong dream into a reality by founding Elle A. Design. Initially, Lindsey managed everything on her own, dedicating countless hours to her craft and her clients. Eight years into her journey, she decided to take a leap of faith by hiring a teammate – Chelsea Bray, Lead Designer and Copywriter. This decision marked a turning point for Elle A. Design, as Chelsea’s talent and dedication brought a new dimension to the studio - Lindsey says that Chelsea has become her right-hand girl and that hiring her has been one of the best decisions she has made. The team continued to grow, adding Lane Yoder as a Designer, Photographer and Videographer and most recently, Kate Powell as a Designer. Together, they have transformed Elle A. Design into a full-fledged brick-and-mortar studio, serving hundreds of clients not only in Logan County but across the country.

How much do you know about Safety training requirements per OSHA? I am not discussing best practices or what you do at your company. Just the basics! OSHA is the regulatory requirement, or the bar if you will. That means you can do the bare minimum to meet the standards. It is the baseline that you must meet under regulations. (it is step one of program management). Step two: This is where Consensus standards may be applied, including industry or equipment specific guidance. The Types of standards that apply may be A-B1, B2, or C Type standards. Some of them may be referenced by OSHA, making them more enforceable. So, you must understand their application.
