Hi, I'm Colin.

I connect people to ideas through events, public programs, and design platforms. I do much of this at Works Progress, an experience design collective I co-founded in 2009. My partner, Shanai, and I write about the work we do at We Work Here. Please say hello at "colin.kloecker at gmail dot com" and also on Facebook, Flickr, or Twitter. I'd love to hear from you.

Seriously considering doing Bank Transfer Day. I’ve been thinking about switching to a credit union for a while anyway.
Really wish they weren’t using that stupid Guy Fawkes mask, though.

To everybody who’s been thinking about a switch to credit unions: stop thinking and just do it. Seriously: research your local credit union options, open an account with the one that best suits your needs, cancel all automatic withdrawals & deposits, transfer your funds to the new account, follow your bank’s procedures to close your account before 11/05. Boom.

(It’s been almost two years since Shanai and I made the switch!)
