From an early age, he was immersed in a world of creativity—nearly every family member engaged in art in one form or another. but exposure to art, design, architecture, music, and travel soon expanded his perspective and deepened his curiosity for creating and making. In school, Zack gravitated toward the arts, taking courses in music, photography, ceramics, welding, woodworking, graphic design, and film editing—disciplines that felt like a natural fit. 

Leaving college with a BA in History and Minor in Art, he began his career in graphic design and desktop publishing, drawing on the entrepreneurial roots of his family, which had a 50-year legacy in the newspaper industry.

“I come from a family of men and women who were adventurous, entrepreneurial, thoughtful, and creative. These folks were Virginians through and through, and their sense of pride, history, creativity, culture, and ‘can do’ attitude has given me the tools and traits that have led me where I am today.” – Zack Worrell

While raising a young family he discovered a deeper calling in craftsmanship and design thinking. Zack spent several years developing skills and knowledge working on architectural restoration and renovation projects. There he learned merging the techniques of new and old construction methods, developing design language, and managing capital and material resources.
