MeeT colin eaganTHanKs For sTopping BY. I’m a Master’s Candidate at VCU Brandcenter specializing

in User Experience Design and Information Architecture. I’ve always loved designing complex

systems. Instead of drawing pictures as a child, I made my own board games. As an Experience

Designer, it is my job to take complex information and make it approachable. My background

combines Big4 Consulting and Digital Agency experience. I enjoy working with clients to solve

business problems and belive that a smart creativite approach can meet virtually any challenge.
