Hi, I'm Colin.

I create projects that inspire, inform and connect; catalyzing relationships across creative and cultural boundaries and providing new platforms for public engagement. I do much of this at Works Progress, a public art and design studio that I run with my partner, Shanai Matteson. We have a son and a cat.
