About Us
Boulder FastFrame is a locally-owned frame shop located at 2327 30th Street (at 30th & Pearl, next to Barnes & Noble) in Boulder, CO. We love helping our customers find the perfect frame for their artwork, photos, diplomas and memorabilia. We are proud supporters of Parenting Place, Colorado Haiti Project, and we donate supplies to local school projects on an on-going basis.
Boulder FastFrame opened its doors in March of 2002, and Kim and Paul Obert have owned and operated the store since they purchased the business in 2004. Paul is a Colorado native who loves riding his bicycle and insisting that his hairline is not receding. When we frame photos of Paul, the top third of his forehead is conveniently cropped to make him look more manly. With a background in Art History and Landscape Design, Kim cleans the bathrooms, manages the store, frames the artwork, and oversees the design team. In addition to their 6-year-old yellow lab, Sadie, the Oberts have a 5-year-old and a newborn baby girl. They love keeping Boulder FastFrame a kid and dog friendly environment with toys, chalk, and dog biscuits to entertain kids and doggies of all ages.
Jese Engwall – Framologist
Jese has been framing for over 8 years. Jese’s framing highlights include a monopoly game, an ancient Chinese necklace, and her custom designs for Phish, the String Cheese Incident, and other concert posters. She has two cats, Mishka and Molinko, that work from home most of the time.
Kristy Durfee – The Frame Guru
Kristy has been framing for 23 years. Her framing highlights include her son’s first football jersey when he turned seven, and a shark’s jawbone that went into a shadowbox. She has an old, tiny Chihuahua named Paco and a four-year-old miniature Dachshund named Akbar Musahfa that belongs to her son, Drew.
Sadie, our neurotic yellow lab, has been the official leader of the Boulder FastFrame Good Dog Club for over six years. If you have a dog, feel free to bring him by the store for a treat (if Sadie hasn’t eaten all of them yet!).
