SOLON, Ohio, Sept. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- iDesign, the housewares design company, has been recognized by ERC as one of 99 great Northeast Ohio workplaces for top talent.

NorthCoast 99 is an annual recognition program and event in its 23^rd year that honors 99 great Northeast Ohio workplaces for top talent.
