Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“We partnered with Hartman Design Group to transform an existing, 20-year-old multifamily building to a Class A apartment community that competes with new product. They exceeded our expectations. The space is now a stunning, urban living experience with all of the amenities that today’s resident demands, including multiple co-working spaces, a dramatic lobby, a sports bar and a brand new state-of-the-art fitness center. The feedback from residents and our investment team has been overwhelmingly positive.” – Chris S.

Not Your Average Interior Design Firm

Marly Emmanuel, a Marketing Associate at Hartman Design Group, generously gave us a few minutes of her time to tell us about this one-of-a-kind business and its tremendous online reputation.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that sets Hartman Design Group apart from the many other interior design firms in Maryland. Here’s Marly’s response:

“Since our founding in 1987, Hartman Design Group has earned a reputation as a creative, award-winning team of interior designers. We are known for creating interior spaces that people love to live and work in. We care about our people, and our people care about each other. We have fun hanging together in our sunny communal lounge and outside of our office at regular happy hours. We are friends and colleagues.”

Marly went on to say:

“Working at HDG is both exciting and challenging. We are blessed with amazing clients and creative projects, and we foster a collaborative environment in which our staff can choose to work heads down in their own generous, personal workspace or in multiple co-working spaces throughout our newly renovated, fresh and bright office. We are creative, collaborative and committed. Together, we help people love where they live.”

We also wanted to know why they do what they do at Hartman Design Group and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Marly had to say:

“We are invested in our people and their future. As a multi-generational group, we mentor and teach each other. Our senior staff is generous with the knowledge that they have gathered over the years, and our young group continually inspires us with new and out-of-the-box ideas. We believe that creativity blossoms out of a caring energized and diverse culture.”

Building Success With an Unbeatable Team

When we asked Marly about Hartman Design Group’s secret to such a strong online reputation, she said:

“We’re blessed to have an amazing group of clients, consultants and designers that helps us get our mission and vision out there.”

Marly added:

“We have been in the business for over 30 years, and our holistic approach to every design project is the force behind our strong reputation. The HDG business philosophy focuses on respect for history, architecture and the environment, and — most importantly — it focuses on respect for every dollar a client dedicates to a design goal. We grow our business by empowering our team and clients!”

Clearly, Marly knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s her expert advice for the many other business owners out there:

“Take good care of your employees and clients.”


Congratulations to the team at Hartman Design Group for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Marly, for taking the time to speak with us!
