Who am I?

I’ve been a web designer since before it was a field, designing and coding my first site in 1995. Currently making support systems play nice together for users of Dell and Dell EMC, creating clarity out of chaos and complexity; making everything more enjoyable through empathy and technology. Previously, I was a UX guy in a mad ad world. I’m a human catalyst for humane change with an irreverence for restriction and a lover of life, laughter, musical moments, fun food, art & alliteration. I also give great hugs and love to sing loudly at random times.

I’m looking forward to leading design and collaborating on the next big thing using an ever-growing skill set covering web and mobile app design, e-commerce, and digital advertising & interactive marketing.

In my free time, you can usually find me watching a band or singing in front of a crowd. And to keep the creative juices flowing, I’ll be painting, illustrating, and writing as well.

Neither is your Account Manager. Sure he might be a user who talks to customers, but he's still not the Customer. #different #jobstobedone twitter.com/DougCollinsUX/…

Oh, you’re still here?

If you’ve made it this far down a page all about me, you deserve some kind of reward. Not that my singing is a reward, BUT I’ve been told that my doing a classic calypso party song at a local dive bar is at least entertaining. So sing along wherever you are, dance in your chair, enjoy, and feel free to laugh about it. I do. 🙂
