Meet Becky Stutsman of Bound by Design. Story and illustration by Karl Christian Krumpholz.

Leah Charney’s poor mother went into labor during a hurricane and Leah hasn’t slowed down since. A born storyteller, she spoke in full sentences as a 9-month-old, was voted “Most Dramatic” in high school, and claims to be a lifelong Coloradan, though she was technically born in Texas (but after the hurricane).

Her words have been published online and in print for a wide range of publications, including Marie Claire, INSIDER, Colorado Life Magazine, and Fodor’s Travel. Leah’s ability to attract odd suitors — like the man who took her to buy a gun rack on a first (and last) date — earned her a monthly dating column in a now-defunct women’s magazine produced by the Boulder Daily Camera.

She is passionate about Denver: its buildings, history, culture, and community. Leah also believes strongly in both the clarifying allure of the Oxford (or serial) comma and in the gritty magic of Colfax.
