Meet this month’s FEATURED MEMBER
Member Spotlight: Ashley Fusco
Ashley is a lifelong Greeley resident, an avid gardener, an entrepreneur, and a creative force behind two downtown businesses.
Ashley started Raven Sign Studio in 2013 with her longtime business partner, Colin Mathis. They have been working in the sign industry together since 2001, helping local businesses stand out with high-quality signage for storefronts, offices, vehicles, and community spaces. Their recent wraps for downtown’s refuse enclosures have transformed everyday fixtures into colorful works of art, brightening the downtown Greeley area she treasures so much -one design at a time.
The Downtown Armory is a new venture and the home to her plant shop, Plantasia, where you can find the perfect house plant for your home or office. The space is a small business co-op that also houses additional retail along with an art gallery, bookstore, coffee shop, performance stage, & restaurant. The goal is to be a third space for the community while allowing small businesses an opportunity to start up with affordable overhead expenses.
When Ashley’s not busy bringing color and creativity to our city, she can be found gardening, creating playlists/podcasts, thrifting, or enjoying sticky mango rice. She enjoys spending time with her son and husband. Membership and volunteer work with The Greeley Morning Garden Club take up any last bit of her free time, but she hopes to get more involved with local government in the future.
