Hey Jen! Can you introduce us to your family?
Hello! I’m Jen, a mum and a freelance senior creative producer. Colin is my husband, a rad dad, and co-founder and executive creative director of the US-based creative agency Oddfellows. Together, we raise our spunky, vivacious, and compassionate 5-year-old daughter, Mika, in a beautiful mountainside town.
Where do you call home, and are there any hidden gems in your area you’d love to share? What makes it feel so special for you and your family?
We’re originally from the Bay Area and have also lived in Los Angeles. Still, we love living here because we have instant access to everything that makes us feel good—fresh air, running, hiking, climbing, mountain biking, skiing, and relaxing. It’s also a safe and wonderful place to raise a family.
