James Keller

Keller Tattoo | Riverside Building

FFF08902.jpg

If you choose to come to me, that means that you are interested in a good tattoo, rather than just a cheap tattoo. Fortunately for the others, there are plenty of other cheap tattoo artists around to choose from! Always look through potential artists portfolios/Instagram to make sure that they "specialize" in the style of tattoo you are looking to get. If I fit the style you are looking for, then I am excited and honored to do your next piece!

Brandon is the founder and licensed/certified prosthetist: I started in the prothetic business immediately following college as a technician making limbs, became a board certified practicer and then public speaker and educator, and now living my own dream of owning a business. I come from a long line of farmers and entrepreneurs, and am so excited to follow in their footsteps to be the master of my own destiny. My hope is that when you come to Limb Lab, you feel important and valuable that no matter the challenges that you are facing, you feel confident in the practitioner that works with you, and optimistic, and even inspired about your journey.

      FFF00370.jpg

      Owner and Principal Designer here at Interiors by J.Curry LLC. I have a degree in Interior Design. I am a member of the National Kitchen and Bath Association and the National Association of Home Builders. I am a Certified Kitchen and Bath Designer with 20+ years of experience in the field of interiors and custom cabinetry design. I pride myself on being a designer who will not only use my creativity and knowledge of cutting-edge products and materials to create a beautiful space, but also with first hand experience of how to realistically deal with construction elements of each interior; and whether or not the designs that are planned can actually be executed. I work closely with qualified experts in the field to help with the start-to-finish challenges in your project; whether it be new construction or a renovation/addition. I have a passion for what I do, and as most of my references will tell you, will not give up on an idea or concept a client may have until we can figure out how to make it happen together. I'm always excited to see what type of project I will see next and how I can help a potential client meet their design needs.
