Mr. Alden grew up in the countryside of northern Colorado. Neighbors had cattle and horses – backyard full of cherry trees. But as he wasn’t influenced by the distractions of a city – an innocent, naive imagination was bred. Art, music, reading and his camera – became his friends. After a decade working for others and speaking little of where he came from, Mr. Alden decided to embrace his own unique story. IdahoSTEW was created based of these ideals – honest and hard working – speaking the language of everyday people. Combating the stereotype of the drenched in black designer, while upholding the integrity of the industry. Today he works with non-profits, various sized businesses, and people who have a passion for what they do. Helping them find their stories using all his creative talents - A bowl of “stew” so to speak. Which isn’t for everyone’s taste – but then he’s not trying to take over the world – just help it along.
