I&#8217;m a 29-year-old woman living just outside of Portland, Oregon with my husband Sean and a couple of house plants (unfortunately, he&#8217;s quite allergic to most pets.) By day I manage a customer service department, and on evenings and weekends I can generally be found either working on my creations, attending a concert, reading, or geeking out playing computer games.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m in the midst of launching Polymath Design Lab &#8211; developing the product line, the website, the brand as a whole. I&#8217;ll be posting soon on the reasoning behind the name, and you&#8217;ll have the opportunity to watch and read about the whole process of getting the company up and running. Thanks for joining me!<\/p>\n<script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script>\n                <!-- AddThis Settings Begin -->\n                <script data-cfasync=\"false\"
