Our Story

Shawn Miller

Publisher and CEO

Born and raised in Huntington Beach, Calif., I moved in 1989 to Arizona, where I received a degree in global marketing with a minor in advertising at Arizona State University. I worked nine years for a regional magazine publisher in Arizona, learning about the magazine industry from top to bottom. In 2007, I and my wife/business partner, Kristin, along with our first child and three pups, relocated to Colorado to launch Denver Life Magazine. We now have three wonderful children and love this amazing state. I enjoy skiing, golfing, camping, hiking, fly-fishing, and spending time with my family.

Kristin Miller

Vice President

A Midwest girl at heart, I grew up in Michigan before packing up my car and moving to Arizona. There, I completed my B.A. degree in Communication with a business minor from Arizona State University. I earned my editing experience as Managing Editor for a regional lifestyle magazine in Scottsdale, AZ before starting my own freelance writing and editing business. In 2007 I, along with my husband and business partner Shawn relocated our family to Colorado to launch Denver Life Magazine. I served as the magazine’s Editor-in-Chief for eight years before making the decision to scale back from daily operations to focus on raising our three children. In my free time I enjoy hiking, skiing, yoga, gardening, spending quality time with my family and exploring this beautiful state we call home.

Since then, I have done an array of creative work (plus bartending!), working at an ad agency, designing mail-order catalogs for a subsidiary of Whole Foods, and photo editing for Starz. In publishing, I have worked at Colorado Biz magazine and Denver magazine, and freelanced for Ft. Collins, Breckenridge, and Winter Park magazines for Evergreen Publishing. For the last five years, I’ve designed Denver Life Magazine.
