Hey again
I'm currently open to new opportunities and always happy to chat about design or a potential fit. If you think we'd work well together, I'd love to hear from you.

A little bit about me
I'm Collin, a Product Designer based in Tempe, Arizona. I got my start in design almost by accident, mocking up solutions in Photoshop while part of a support team, and handing them off to engineers. That direct line to users stuck with me, and it's still what drives how I work today. I care about solving real problems for real people, not just making things look good.
Over the past decade, I've led design across B2B platforms in construction, e-commerce, healthcare, and creator tech, from full product redesigns to the kind of high-stakes, executive-escalated fires that need a fast, confident answer under pressure. I'm just as comfortable leading a calm, methodical redesign as I am being the person called in when something urgent needs to get fixed right, and I've built a track record doing both.
Outside of work, I'm a former musician who still loves live music, an enthusiastic home cook, and a lifelong LEGO builder. I'm always up for a good challenge, whether it's a gnarly design problem or a particularly ambitious build.
Experience
Senior Product Designer • 2025 - 2026
At Aspire I led high-impact design initiatives across the platform's core experience, including a rapid, CEO-escalated redesign that retained a top-10 revenue account and several ground-up modernizations that improved onboarding and navigation. Consistently paired fast execution with measurable business and user impact.
Senior Product Designer • 2023 - 2025
At GRIN, I partnered with engineers and executive leadership to design an experimental AI-powered assistant that significantly increased task completion speed, while also leading a homepage redesign and onboarding improvements that boosted engagement and accelerated time-to-value.
Senior Product Designer • 2022 - 2023
At Lessen, I directed end-to-end design across large-scale initiatives for a two-sided marketplace, driving measurable increases in product adoption while aligning cross-functional teams around shared goals. Redesigned the platform's operational backbone, reducing project completion time by 20%.
Product Designer • 2020 - 2022
At CVS, I spearheaded internal tool modernization efforts that improved task efficiency by 70%, grounded in user research and usability testing. Presented design strategies to executive leadership to help shape prioritization and product vision
Product Designer • 2016 - 2020
At InkSoft I designed core tools for the e-commerce platform, including quoting, production scheduling, and mobile-first checkout, reducing cart abandonment by 42% on a platform generating $250M+ in annual revenue. I also led research and requirements throughout the product lifecycle in close collaboration with engineering.
