i skimmed over his info and we might have to get a little creative with a connection, but noël is a musician (studio session for one of the big three labels) who has a couple of side projects when not obligated elsewhere. amiable and outgoing, constantly working on something, dedicated to his craft above all else, and has been in portland since 2012. he's originally from montreal (and from a fairly affluent background) with a family steeped in the arts, has lived in new york and the south of spain as well. at the very least, another out and proud professional and perhaps, depending on the type of design work he does, he could be responsible for working with noël on some of his side project promo materials (website, newsletter, album art, etc).
