Summer Maçon

Summer Macon was raised in an itty bitty town of Southern NM. As a child, she quickly became known as “Tiger” as this is how she would sign her homework next to the many doodles covering their pages. She has decided to now go by her real name and lives in an even smaller itty bitty town (population 32) in beautiful Colorado. In the summertime you can find her rock climbing, mountain biking, or doodling on her contracts.
