I am Torlando Hakes, founder of the Craftsman Painter Collective, a network of architectural painting professionals dedicated to the painting trade.

I earned a BFA from the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design from IU and an MBA from the Kelley School of Business.

I've been a practicing Color Designer since 2010, and entrepreneur. I teach business to other small business owners at conferences, and I help homeowners design a more lovely home with paint colors.
