Since joining Vision 3 Architects in 2012, Colin has played a vital role in shaping the firm’s growth and reputation for design excellence. As Associate Principal, he leads projects from initial concept through final completion, ensuring each phase reflects a high standard of design, innovation, and execution. His leadership guides teams through complex design challenges, resulting in enduring, impactful solutions.
Colin approaches architecture as a dialogue between the built environment and its occupants — a conversation that shapes interactions, supports functions, and enhances the human experience. With a meticulous attention to detail, he strives to create environments that are both purposeful and inspiring.
A core tenet of Colin’s leadership is his commitment to professional growth — both for himself and for those around him. He challenges his teams to embrace a mindset of continuous improvement, encouraging them to be 1% better every day. This philosophy fosters a culture of steady, measurable progress, driving creativity, accountability, and a collective pursuit of excellence across the firm’s portfolio of work.
Colin earned his Master of Architecture, magna cum laude, from Roger Williams University, where his thesis received special commendation. Outside of his professional endeavors, he enjoys spending time with his wife and three young children, following his favorite hockey team, and playing golf.
