I know this page is supposed to be about me. But first, about the napkins.

In my experience, being a creative usually goes like this: you get a project, you sit down at your computer to think of something cool, and you can’t do it. The idea hits you later, while you’re walking your dog or shopping for deodorant. So you get it down somewhere — looseleaf margins, the Notes app on your phone, even a napkin.

This site is dedicated to my favorite projects, which were once merely napkin scribbles.

Still with me?

Fantastic. I’m Collin, a writer and brand strategist from Louisville, Kentucky.

This is what I look like.

I’m on the left.

I love helping brands convey who they are and why it matters — not just why you should buy their stuff or support their goals.

I also love soccer, coffee, 90s hip hop, and my Adidas flip flops.
