Collins is a great designer with solid management skills. He's helped scale our design team during multiple phases of aggressive organizational growth (with many shifting needs and priorities). His impact has touched many aspects of our business.
Marcus Jones,
COO of Outliant
Collins is a remarkable designer. He was able to grasp my abstract ideas and transforms them into exceptional visuals.Throughout the time we spent together, I've witnessed him produce everything from small symbolic icons to comprehensive adaptive web pages.He has crafted designs like a master chef on a barbecue Sunday evening on the grill, just chef kiss”
Murray Gray,
Co-Founder, Engagify
I have rarely encountered individuals with as strong a work ethic as he has.
Collins worked with my team to redesign our entire software platform. He came in, analyzed the system, articulated its deficits, and proposed changes.He worked quickly and diligently to build our new designs. He was communicative, insightful, and productive.The entire team is ecstatic with the designs that he produced.
Lucas Fridman,
CTO, FactoredQuality (YC 22)
Collins gets it. He gets my needs, the business needs. He gets the customer. He gets how to work with engineers. He gets feedback loops, testing, experimentation.I am super satisfied with the end results, and even when that was done, he saw opportunities to improve the work done and he suggested it and got it done easily without much sweat.That takes grit, great job Collins.
Ashley F. Smith,
CEO, Idara
In my time working with Collins, I was impressed by his organizational skills and executional prowess. Collins excels in breaking down complex projects into achievable tasks, ensuring high-quality results while meeting tight deadlines. His proactive approach and attention to detail have been instrumental in driving our team's success. Collins was a true asset to Outliant, and I am confident in his continued success and invaluable contributions in any endeavor.
