ABOUT ME
L-B Designs was started a few years ago when the M Diamond Angus wanted a website developed for their annual bull sale. It was difficult to find a web designer nearby who had a ranch and livestock background and who could relate to the bull business. It was even harder to find someone affordable.
After a few months of searching, I was asked to do it... so back to college I went. After a few courses in design, web design, and animated graphics, I felt comfortable enough to design their website. It has been a passion ever since, and I love the fact that I get to use my creative and artistic talents almost daily.
My ranching back ground started at an early age, but it wasn't until I was 14 when we moved back to Wyoming, that I could say I "grew up" on a ranch. My Grandparents were a huge influence in my life and throughout junior high and high school I spent any free time I had at their ranch. I loved feeding cows and sheep with my Grandpa, putting up hay and riding horses every chance I got. Both of them taught me how to work, to work hard and if you take care of your land and your livestock they will take care of you.
After college, and a degree in food science I was fortunate to get a job with the Wyoming Department of Agriculture. I was very driven and focused on my career and a lot of great opportunities fell my way. There were several great leaders in the department who took me under their wing. I learned more about agriculture than I ever thought possible. I will be forever grateful for all of the experiences I was afforded during my 15 years there.
In 2004 I went back to living on a ranch and embracing the lifestyle again. Wanting to be an artist / designer the first college I went to was the Colorado Institute of Art. . . now all these years later I am living the country life and dabbling in a design business. I can truly say in the last thirty years my life has come full circle.
I am passionate about giving back and currently serve on several agriculture-related boards. I also enjoy assisting agriculture-related industries and associations with their promotional efforts, websites, and social media engagement. I primarily offer this assistance at no charge, which fills me with a sense of pleasure and fulfillment.
I believe through my related experiences I bring a quality to my designs that many western enthusiasts are looking for. If you would like to visit or have any questions, I'd love to hear from you. Drop me a line at lboner212@gmail.com.
