Colin worked at a large Portland Architecture firm for 15+ years and holds a
Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Cincinnati (Go Bearcats!).
Kelly worked in the same architecture firms’ marketing department for several years; together they collaborated on various projects and marketing proposals.
Since then, Kelly and Colin have been honored to work with some of the best designers and creative thinkers around, creating beautiful, highly effective websites for A/E/C firms of all shapes and sizes.
