THE PERSON BEHIND THE PROJECTS
One precious life.
More than one version.

Hi, I’m Colleen.
I’m a product of a 1980s Indiana childhood and an unrelenting work ethic. But most of all, I’m a dreamer.
I spent years building one version of my life. When that version fractured, I discovered there was more inside me than I had imagined.
Broken Open is a way of making sense of that change. The vase holds the shape of a familiar identity. The glass forms around it make room for other possibilities.
Not everything here began at the same moment. These are different parts of a life still in progress: psychology, writing, creative work, and the things I’m building next.
We get this one precious life. What do we want to do with it—and what are we still waiting for?
