Christopher Collins is a multidisciplinary designer working across product, UX, brand identity, and digital experiences. His approach comes from a background that has never fit neatly into one category — skateboarding, graphic design, traditional sign painting, independent brands, and digital products have all shaped the way he works.

For nearly a decade, he helped build Old Friends, developing branding, apparel, graphics, campaigns, and creative work that reached national retail and skateboarding media. Traditional sign painting added another layer to that background, reinforcing an attention to typography, composition, materials, and the value of making things by hand.

More recently, his work has moved deeper into UX and product design. He completed a Master of Science in User Experience from Arizona State University in 2026, with a focus on usability testing, interaction design, accessibility, prototyping, and research-driven design decisions.

Projects like RUNRS bring those different parts of his background together — brand strategy, digital design, e-commerce, content, product, and community — while projects such as Old Friends Fitness and Streets of Lissé explore more focused product and interactive experiences.

He is based in Reno, Nevada, where he lives with his family and continues to work across digital design, independent projects, and traditional creative practice.
