BDC President Letter A Letter from Colin Tarbert, President and CEO of Baltimore Development Corporation In 2018, Made In Baltimore (MIB) became part of the Baltimore Development Corporation (BDC). BDC serves as Baltimore’s economic development agency and works to grow local businesses. This integration enables seamless delivery of business and technical assistance to makers and manufacturers in Baltimore City. With the spread of COVID-19 adversely affecting small businesses, BDC provided grant funding for makers interested in adapting their business models to produce PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). These grants were used to hire employees and purchase equipment and supplies. With MIB’s assistance, BDC awarded 15 grants to Baltimore makers and manufacturers. In addition, BDC and MIB coordinated local government procurement of $400,000 in PPE from Baltimore makers and manufacturers. The stories of Baltimore’s innovative makers and their products, can be seen in the following pages. As small businesses continue to face challenges during these economically uncertain times, MIB and BDC will continue to identify resources for small businesses and continue to provide our assistance. We hope that you will join us in supporting local businesses by buying local this holiday season, and beyond.

INTRODUCTION In the summer of 2015, a group of makers, designers and organizers calling itself the Industrial Arts Collective ran the first-ever Made In Baltimore pop-up shop in an art gallery on North Avenue. Five years later, the seed planted at that DIY event has grown into a thriving network of over 200 small manufacturers, makerspaces, and local product retailers, reaching into all corners of Baltimore City, and supported by robust programming housed at the Baltimore Development Corporation, our city’s lead economic development agency. The businesses that make up this vibrant community are featured in the pages that follow. At its core, Made In Baltimore is a program that certifies products as ‘locally made’ and promotes buying local to the Baltimore region. But we believe our mission runs much deeper than that. We believe that economic opportunity is the key to unlocking Baltimore City’s untapped potential, and small-scale manufacturing is a perfect vehicle for spreading that opportunity. The manufacturing sector creates full-time, living wage jobs that are accessible to workers of any education level. When manufacturers are small to mid-sized, they are a great fit for urban neighborhoods, offering high-quality, walkable jobs, and making use of older industrial properties that would otherwise become vacant eyesores. When residents of a region support their small manufacturers by ‘shopping local’, they foster the growth of these jobs right in their own communities. All this adds up to the spread of economic opportunity into communities that have been dis-invested in for far too long.

2020 has been a historic year. In addition to a sweeping pandemic that has stolen lives and rocked our economy, protests against police brutality towards people of color has lifted a veil on the systemic racism that has plagued our country for centuries. Part of that insidious system has been the exclusion of people of color from opportunities for economic advancement, like access to capital to start new businesses, or access to higher education to land jobs in high-paying industries. It’s no wonder that one call-toaction of the Black Lives Matter movement has been to ‘Buy Black’, or support blackowned businesses through our consumer spending.
Introduction | www.madeinbaltimore.com
This practice is a form of reinvestment; it is a way of spreading economic opportunity. In this, our second edition of the Made In Baltimore Lookbook, we are using icons to identify businesses in these pages that are Black-owned, womanowned, or both. We see this as a small step to help our readers practice conscious consumerism, using their dollars to support the advancement of women and people of color. At this point, no one can predict what Baltimore, or the United States for that matter, will look like in 2021. We can be sure that the recovery from our current economic crisis will take a lot of time and effort. At Made In Baltimore, our hope is that we use this opportunity to rebuild a more equitable economy, one that prioritizes people over profits, and long-term resiliency over short-term convenience.
By picking up this book, you are already a contributor to this vision. We applaud you for simply being curious about the incredible products our Baltimore businesses have to offer, and we hope you find something in these pages that you like! Most of all, we hope you’ll join the ‘Buy Local’ movement, and we look forward to seeing you, in person, in the better days ahead. Andy Cook Executive Director

DIFFERENTREGARD DIFFERENT REGARD designs and manufactures sustainable apparel, offering ready to wear, made to measure and custom options. They pursue a perfect fit, troubleshoot pieces in the shop and work to meet each client’s specific style tastes. Shifting to mass production of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic presented them with a steep learning curve.
After Baltimore’s economy largely shut down in early March, Art Director & Founder Dominick Davis and his team members took time to discuss their options. At the time, they didn’t have experience with high-volume production, lacked the necessary equipment and had no idea how the coronavirus crisis would play out. They had some clarity, though — a sense of purpose inspiring them to meet the moment. “We all knew exactly what we were here to do — helping to save lives the best way we could by preventing the spread of coronavirus,” Davis said. Scaling up their operations in just a few weeks presented a challenge. They weren’t used to buying thousands of yards of fabric at a time — a single roll might weigh 140 pounds. They had to implement quality control. They started off cutting each piece by hand with scissors. They estimated that they could make 500 masks in a day. When they fell short of that goal at first, they kept working at it. “We had to find a process, and once we defined that process, it took a few troubleshoots just to ramp up the speed,” Davis said. “We didn’t fail. It’s just that we had to learn the process. Now, we’re exceeding that in a day.” 14
Davis said that they knew they had to understand the challenges facing their community so that they could do their part to meet those challenges.
Upgrading to a rotary cutter let them slice through fifty layers of fabric at once. With a stand for heavy rolls of fabric, they could unwind yard after yard with less hassle.
“As a small business owner, your objective is to understand the pain and do your best to solve the problem of your market needs,” he said. “We’re still learning.”
DIFFERENT REGARD has sent PPE to local funeral homes, dental offices and even the firefighter’s academy. People on the front lines fighting coronavirus right here in Charm City, Davis said, need quality protection.
Through Made In Baltimore’s Home Sewers Network, they recruited six new hires to help streamline production. Davis was proud to offer more jobs to Baltimoreans at a moment when they were more needed than ever. With a grant for PPE manufacturing from Baltimore Development Corporation, they invested in six new sewing machines and other equipment.

Earth’s Elements Earth Elements Soapworks founder Kellie Martin built her skincare brand around the principle that natural beauty should be a source of confidence. She creates products with natural ingredients that skin recognizes, greets warmly and absorbs into a glow of health. She drew inspiration from her greatgrandmother, who instilled values of taking confidence from hard work and a holistic lifestyle. “Suffering all my life from sensitive skin, prone to inflammation and breakouts, I was a frustrated brand-hopper searching for anything that would help,” Martin said. “I began educating myself on natural ingredients and formulations beneficial to the skin and decided to make my own soaps. To my amazement, my skin began to clear and I regained my confidence.” For years, Martin produced batches of each precisely crafted scent in her home studio, but recently scaled up into a commercial space. To help meet the demand for personal protective equipment, Martin focused her resources for a few months on producing hand soap and sanitizer for local hospitals, daycare centers, nursing homes and businesses, supported by a grant from the Baltimore Development Corporation. She’s also seen organic growth amid the broad economic impact of COVID-19. “Working from a home production environment has its limitations — I was running out of space at home, and hiring help to come into my home was not an option during COVID,” she said. “Making the decision to take on commercial space is indeed scary, but a risk I was willing to take in hopes of increased rewards of growing my business with positive intention.”
30
Moving into a new space has given Martin access to opportunities, like providing a safe workplace for local makers, investing in more efficient equipment and realizing her ambition of becoming a space for collaboration within the community.
“I wanted to be part of a family of makers all working together for the greater good of our community,” she said. “MIB staff have always been responsive to my questions and have gone above and beyond to help grow my home-based baby into its very first commercial space.”
“Since the birth of Earth Elements Soapworks, I’ve had humble beginnings. I’ve been a one-woman show, managing all aspects of the business,” she said. “Having everything moved out of my home, I’m now able to sit at my dining room table, which I haven’t seen for months since my business was taking over my home.”
She said that up-and-coming entrepreneurs must build strong teams and be responsive to the needs of their audience. Staying focused on a mission helps her avoid overthinking as she makes tough decisions and guides her business through a period of organic growth.
Building that community starts with tapping into a network of local collaborators, customers and smallbusiness superfans, something Martin found at Made In Baltimore.

“Be prepared to take calculated risks. You’ll never know the outcome of your efforts unless you actually do it,” she said. “Have a vision and work toward your goals daily.”

Taharka Bros Taharka Brothers has worked for years to become a mainstay of delicious local treats, with ice cream in dozens of Charm City retailers and restaurants. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit and customers could no longer go out to get their favorite flavors, Taharka was ready to bring the flavors straight to them — with a home-delivery program. According to Taharka CEO Stephen Butz, the company saw at least 20 percent growth in the last year, despite losing institutional clients like local universities which halted food services after sending students home. He attributed this growth to the home delivery program, which can satisfy the sweet teeth at any socially distanced gettogethers. “It was very much a business accelerator, because when you’re bringing it directly to the consumer, you’re cutting out the middleman and it’s even more profitable,” Butz said. “When people are having an at-home event like a birthday party, or they’re having relatives over, they want to share some of the best stuff made in Baltimore.” Home deliveries aren’t likely to replace Taharka’s relationship with retailers and restaurants, but has buoyed the business through months of economic turbulence. During the spring, Taharka saw between 400 and 500 home deliveries per week, using Butz’s tech background to create the software to map out routes and perfectly line up a number of complicated pieces. How did Taharka make the home delivery model work so quickly? Butz said it simply built on years of making a quality product that Baltimoreans came to know and love (and crave).
42
“It takes the ability to stick with it, persevere and understand that things do not happen quickly,” he said. “Home deliveries were a great recipe for us, but it was because of the nine to 10 years of foundational work, making sure the ice cream is quality and making sure that people are not disappointed.” Taharka is also working to become worker-owned, a milestone Butz expects to reach by the end of the year. He said the goal is to reinvest rewards in those who have worked to build the brand’s value. “The true desire has been to make sure that, as the value of the brand and the company was built, the people behind the brand and the
Food & Beverage | www.madeinbaltimore.com
company was built, the people behind the brand and the creation of that value were rewarded with wealth,” he said. “If you put your shoulder against this boulder and help push it up the hill, you’re going to be rewarded with the value creation that happens when a company gets bigger.” Recognizing that the many companies are struggling to survive amid the pandemic, Butz said that Taharka is proud to be growing, sustaining employment for Baltimoreans and tapping them into the profit. “There’s a lot of good stuff that goes on in the city,” he said. “Everyone knows where the media headlines are, and where the attention goes — the crime rate and things like that. It feels good to be working on another side of that.”

Quality Mask Supply Imperium Shaving headed into the new year bolstered by a busy holiday shopping season. By mid-March, though, sales of their handcrafted wooden razors ground to a halt. As the toll of the COVID-19 pandemic grew, consumers focused on survival basics like groceries, medicine and personal protective equipment (PPE).
Imperium Shaving Owner Dan Janssen reached out to local sewn trades extraordinaire Jill Andrews of Jill Andrews Gowns, who had already been in touch with Mike Pararas and Kim Strassner of Words with Boards about producing face masks. After those early Instagram messages, the three businesses came together quickly to create Quality Mask Supply. “We all had relatively successful businesses, and then, within a matter of days, they were completely gone,” Janssen said. “It was about survival. We don’t have the types of jobs where we can work remotely from home on the computer. Either we’re selling things, or we’re not. If we’re not, we can’t eat.” Andrews previously worked with Johns Hopkins University to design hazmat suits protecting against Ebola, so she had the know-how to tackle COVID-19. She said that each of the businesses in the Quality Mask Supply partnership brought a new perspective.
Their face masks are designed to fit comfortably for hours and use organic cotton to avoid bleach and dyes that can irritate the skin. Through this network, Quality Mask Supply maximized their economic impact in Baltimore City. The work was a lifeline for many of the home-based sewers, such as a mother and daughter duo who finished over 500 masks a week.
“All three of us are used to imagining what we do from different angles,” Andrews said. “Coming together allowed us to take mistakes we have learned previously and scale up really quickly.”
“Some people are producing because they need to pay a mortgage,” Andrews said. “Some people are producing because they have two small children at home and need to buy diapers. It’s essential.”
Quality Mask Supply sourced production to 40 members of Made In Baltimore’s Home Sewers Network, many of whom had no other income.
Production starts at the Words with Boards facility, where a laser engraver slices miles of fabric into precise shapes, preparing around

1200 fabric kits in a day. These kits are distributed to home-based sewers, and completed masks are collected at Andrews’ studio for inspection. Finally, they return to Words with Boards to be packed and shipped. Janssen, who manages Quality Mask Supply’s website and online sales, secured grant funding from Baltimore Development Corporation for PPE production. The funding allowed them to purchase a stock of organic, all-natural cotton to keep up with Quality Mask Supply’s growth. They also upped pay for their producers by $0.50 per mask. Coming together under Quality Mask Supply was a life preserver for these small business owners and the home-based sewers they depend on. “Everyone is pulling together and helping each other,” Janssen said. “We’re tough, resilient people here in Baltimore, and when we need to pull together, we will.”

DRAMA MAMA BOOKS Alisa Brock has always journalled, a practice handed down from her mother, but found motivation in notebooks bound with beautiful designs and affirming messages. She was in a dark place after going through a painful loss in late 2016, and turned to her love of design to start creating and selling her own notebooks. “I wanted to manifest, to create my own reality. I wanted to write things that would be more in alignment with how I wanted to feel, while still being transparent about my emotions,” she said. “Turns out, other people were motivated too.” And so, Drama MaMa Bookshop was born. Brock creates each of her notebooks with 100 percent sugar cane paper, and can customize pairing covers with planners, journals, blank and graph notebooks or with creating entirely new designs. Before the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted business back in March, Brock used a laser cutter and production space at Open Works while hosting workshops and other community-building events at her own studio. More recently, she invested in her own laser cutter — it’s slightly smaller, but she can’t be stopped. “I’m trying to figure out what my business can look like now, in terms of structure,” she said. “As long as my product is in a space where an audience can appreciate it, I feel the traffic really flows to me.” Amid the ‘Buy Black’ movement which seemed to swell over the summer, Brock saw a boost in sales from more customers reaching and sharing her products.
68
Still, she said acknowledged ongoing challenges Black business owners face on an institutional level.
“As entrepreneurs of color, we don’t always have access to funding and the relationships that provide funding, so it forces us to be ultracreative in how we get things done,” Brock said. “It’s really important to be innovative in how we show up.” Made In Baltimore, she added, has worked to help businesses access resources and build community, bolstering economic strength across the city.
Printed Products | www.madeinbaltimore.com
“What Made In Baltimore offers the community — I’ve seen it work for other businesses and other people. I’ve seen it grow businesses and encourage local makers to keep making,” she said. “It’s really helping us.” Drama MaMa recently began offering book boxes, a customizable kit for creating your own bound notebooks. To keep customers safe, she also offers curbside pickup in Mount Vernon. Brock teased at other ideas coming down the pipeline. Being flexible and creative are keys to riding out a tough time for business, she said. “We can get used to doing business one way, and not really want to change because we’ve mastered that way,” she said. “But now, this time in life is telling us that we need to be different, and we need to make different choices in order to continue on the path of success.”
My Ancestors’ Wildest Dreams Drama MaMa Bookshop $20 — A paraphrasing of Maya Angelos Quote, “” I am the hope and the dream of the slave.” I want to create and experience the moments and opportunities my ancestors dreamt of. I want to manifest the things they never saw as possible and found hard to believe due to practicality and unimaginable circumstances. I want to manifest the greatest emotional, mental, financial, physical, cultural, political, spiritual awakening and triumph that my minds eye could muster up for my people. I want a community of creators to add to that vision. And it all starts with writing it down.
I Am Deliberate and Afraid of NOTHING Drama MaMa Bookshop $20 — Book: The Collected Poems of Audre Lorde My favorite Audre Lorde book is Zami. Reading it was the first time I truly felt seen in literature. I was inspired by the story of this rebellious little girl who decided to live life on her own terms. This little girl who became a woman, brave enough to leave behind traditions that were never designed for someone like her. She went about, fearlessly paving out a new way of being and unraveling the contradictions that life presented.
MANIFEST (Wooden) Drama MaMa Bookshop $30 — Definition: To bring about. To will something into existence. I wanted to give my goals and dreams a place to start. Somewhere I would primarily focus on them and how it would feel to have them. There is so much power in writing what you want down. May your goals and dreams meet you where you stand. 100% Sugarcane Paper Made by a Human BEING Made with LOVE

mount royal soap co. Remember back in March, when Americans were scrambling to buy food, toiletries and personal protective equipment (PPE)? Pat Illes of Mount Royal Soap Co. remembers. When he saw bottles of hand sanitizer selling for astronomical prices online, he decided to intervene. “I knew how to make it,” Illes said. “I whipped up a batch, and just put up an Instagram post for our neighbors that said, ‘If you need some gel sanitizer, here’s a bottle that doesn’t cost $100.’” From that first batch, production scaled up explosively — Illes and co-owners Matt Williams and Sam Kiffer moved production to a 8500-square-foot facility in Woodberry outfitted with upgraded machinery. But don’t worry — they aren’t leaving their Remington storefront any time soon. As demand for PPE erupted, Mount Royal could hardly keep up with the orders that flooded in. “It was a little scary,” Illes said. “We had the City of Baltimore coming to us, the funny little soap shop on the corner in Remington, for something that they desperately needed to protect themselves.” As they began to scale up, a grant from Baltimore Development Corporation allowed them to purchase a pair of piston fillers, one for small squeeze bottles and one for gallon jugs. With the fillers, they went from filling 100 to 700 small bottles an hour, and while they had previously lacked the equipment for gallon jugs, they could now fill 1100 a day. As the pandemic disrupted global production, many small businesses struggled to find supplies. When Bill Stevenson of Waverly Color Co. offered Mount Royal a warehouse full of empty squeeze bottles, Illes bought out his entire stock. On scaling up, Illes advised, “Don’t do it this quickly, if you can avoid it.”

Hand Sanitizer - 4 oz Fragrance Free Mount Royal Soaps $3.99
He added that small business owners grappling with growth should tap into networks of support like Made In Baltimore.
“Just ask people for advice,” he said. “People want to help.” Mount Royal continued to grow, signing a regional grocery store procurement deal and supplying a large defense department agency. While scaling up in equipment and supply surged, personnel was a challenge. Staying on top of large orders left little time for hiring. Mount Royal shifted production to their Woodberry space while their Remington store remained closed. Illes said that while they miss their customers, they want to stay safe with online orders and no-contact pickup.
PPE | www.madeinbaltimore.com
Illes said that the challenges Mount Royal faced proved the importance of investing in local small-scale manufacturing. “We have more invested in the enterprise than just money,” he said. “I could end up in the hospital where our sanitizer or Quality Mask Supply’s masks are used, or my mom could.” Expanding into PPE production amid the pandemic was fulfilling for Illes and the Mount Royal team.
“We’re doing our very small part providing something that otherwise people wouldn’t be able to have on the front lines,” he said. “We’re incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to supply critical needs.”
