our Design Firm
Born in Lansing, Michigan, Ginger Marks moved to the Tampa Bay Area of Florida in 1978. She began her career as a business owner in partnership with the medical profession. Marks owned and operated a multi-million-dollar surgical facility for 23 years with her late husband. After his passing, Ginger’s drive to succeed led her to become a Financial Advisor while working on the side, for her own purposes, in the field of design with the founding of Graph Inc., which eventually became DocUmeant Designs.
Her love for writing and design has been the catalyst for her successful career in the publishing area. Coming from a family of published authors and speakers, it was no surprise when she, herself, embarked on the writing journey. She enjoys sharing from her vast expertise as a published author and business owner.
Ginger Marks is an award-winning author, publisher, and designer. Her books include two children’s books as well as numerous business-related books. She is listed in Covington Who’s Who Executive and Professional Registry, and Clearwater Business Hall of Fame. These awards confirm Mrs. Mark’s commitment to excellence in the Publishing and Design services.
In 2017 Marks was honored by Women in eCommerce with the Golden Mouse award for publishing. Ginger is a member of International Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Association of Authors and Publishers for Special Sales (AAPS), and is on the board of the Florida Authors and Publishers Association (myFAPA.org). She served as their Design Chair from 2013–2023 and President in 2024–25. She is a platinum author on Ezine Articles and has also written for Huffington Post. In her spare time, she enjoys singing and crafts. She is a portrait artist and has recently delved into the art of Zentangle with her adult coloring book, Color My World. She pens a monthly ezine titled, "Words of Wisdom" which she invites you to register to receive and can be found at DocUmeantPublishing.com and DocUmeantDesigns.com.
