Originally from Boulder County, Colorado, Collin has immersed himself in the design challenges of New Orleans through his studies at Tulane, building a portfolio with emphasis on public and civic spaces with attention to culture and place. Through work with Tulane’s Small Center for Collaborative Design, he brings design and technical experience with Louisiana’s regional water issues, with an emphasis on resilience at the scale of coastal processes. Collin has a background in design-build and fabrication projects, and is a skilled woodworker with experience from conception through construction on a number of small buildings, installations,  models and crafted objects. Outside the office, Collin is an avid urbanist and food lover with a passion for New Orleans’s spontaneous culture and informal urbanism.
