Jim Earley - Graphic Design

About

For the past 17 years I've worked in Design, from large government agencies to small private firms. I retired from the U.S. Coast Guard in 2004, but my journey in art and design began decades before. As an artist, I sold my work and exhibited in shows. I then moved into graphic and web design. I currently teach graphic and web design as well as digital marketing. I graduated with a BFA and MA in Design at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design.
