Outside of work, Kyle enjoys traveling throughout Colorado with his family in their camper, DIY projects, and playing music.

Influences

“I was raised in a household of creatives, and the arts were always encouraged so the training started early. Over the years much of my design influence has come from visiting new places – from living in Shanghai with quick trips to Tokyo and Hong Kong, to a design competition in Prague, to working on California’s coastal piers, and even from time spent exploring the mountain West. Inspiration is everywhere.
