Colin Williams is an artist and web developer.
Hello, I'm Colin Williams. I'm interested in moving the web forward, and connecting physical things to computer things. You'll find me working as a web developer at AKQA.
I'm Oregon born and raised, and graduated with a BFA in Digital Arts from the Universty of Oregon. In 2008, upon being accepted in the Digital Media program at RISD, I earned my MFA while learning from the likes of Christopher K. Ho, Julia Dault and Daniel Peltz.
I made a lot of work I was proud of while at RISD. My thesis work involved stretching an ice cream truck, which ultimately ended up being a project that was too large to complete. This project changed me, both in terms of my thinking but also how I approach work.
In what little downtime I have, you'll usually find me chasing my two year old son.
These publications were kind enough to write about my work.
