West Slope Startup Week is a celebration of everything entrepreneurial in rural Colorado! They are part of a global movement: Techstars Startup Weeks are five-day, entrepreneur-led, community events held in cities across the world to showcase the local startup ecosystem through meetups, lectures, discussions, and celebrations.

I was a part of the initial team that brought the Startup Week model to the Western Slope. My background in graphic design and experience with Denver Startup Week gave me the insights and abilities to help build this entrepreneurial event for west of the Rockies. I was responsible for the initial brand creation and over the years have transitioned into a Creative Director roll that manages the designs and as well as creates/updates materials year to year.

“I highly recommend working with TJ for branding and graphic design projects, especially for those seeking a modern, western charm and aesthetic. TJ produced stunning graphic design assets for my event, West Slope Startup Week, that helped make promotions for the event more successful and memorable.”
