A Little BitAbout Me
I'm drawn to work where precedent is thin and the rules aren't fully written yet. Where tools, incentives, and norms are still being defined, and early decisions meaningfully shape how systems evolve.
Over the last fifteen years, my work has sat at the intersection of systems, design, and emerging technology. I've helped build and shape products across fintech, education, crypto, and AI, often stepping in where things are complex, loosely defined, or evolving quickly, and making them usable, durable, and understandable.
My interest in new organizational models, particularly DAOs, eventually led to a conversation with TIME Magazine about what it's actually like to work inside them.
DJing for many years led me to co-found Night Vision, an underground electronic music project that shaped how I think about communal experience and participation.
Along the way, I've worked with organizations like The Ethereum Foundation and Optimism on public goods funding, and worked on products like Safe and Gnosis Pay, where the goal was to make self-custody and crypto payments feel obvious rather than intimidating. I've also helped rebuild Typing.com, a free platform that helps tens of millions of students and teachers across the world, and contributed to causes and movements I believe in, from Yang 2020 to work with Amnesty International.
Being a parent of two has been a reliable way to stay grounded, especially when deciding what actually needs to be complicated and what doesn't.
Today, I focus on building systems that can handle real-world complexity, scale responsibly, and continue to work long after the initial excitement wears off.
Kind Words FromCollaborators
Colin was without a doubt one of the central linchpins keeping our marketing efforts together.
Colin began working with the Yang2020 campaign in early 2019, when the staff was still single digits. As our staff scaled by 30x through 2019, Colin was without a doubt one of the central linchpins keeping our marketing efforts together. He worked swiftly and communicated clearly which saved the day many times as we maneuvered our crazy rocket ship.
When I think of Colin's work, I think of the word “clean”.
Immensely creative, diligent, and quick, I found it super easy to work alongside Colin and I still admire him to this day. When I think of Colin's work, I think of the word “clean”. Seeing him in action I know that these clean designs only come from deeply understanding the stakeholder needs, thorough research, careful planning, and expert execution.
He never shies away from hashing out complicated design requests.
Colin is a fast, creative, and thoughtful designer. He's executed brilliantly against the client projects he's engaged with to produce stunningly beautiful designs, while being extremely communicative with his clients. It's been a pleasure to be the product manager working with Colin. He never shies away from hashing out complicated design requests and is very receptive to feedback. I'd love to work with Colin again!
