CONTACT ME
I live in Lafayette Colorado, just outside of Boulder, with my family, my cat Detective Sonny Crockett and my new black lab puppy India. I am open to opportunities in the greater Denver area, but I also excel at working remotely. When I’m not designing all the things, you will likely find me moving rocks around my garden, in my studio making something, or figure drawing in my garage.
