- Reno-Sparks, NV (1888PressRelease) August 19, 2014 - When Enterprising Women Magazine looks for exceptional businesswomen to award, where do they look? They need search no further than Las Vegas's own Chris Harvey of Design Factory http://dflv.com. She is one of a handful of recipients of the magazine's Enterprising Woman of the Year award for 2014.
