Growing up in Vermont, Cole Boffa was raised in a culture of the outdoors. Imbued with a sense of adventure, a spirit of curiosity about how the world works was born, and a passion for designing improvements developed. Exploration brought him to JMU, where he combines his love for writing, art, entrepreneurship, and talking to people. He enjoys recognizing juxtapositions as a place to design from—telling stories through solutions that can resonate with others to solve a problem or catalyze change. When not designing, you can find Cole mountain biking, skiing, camping, or continually being inspired by new experiences.
