Colin Wright — UX writing & content design portfolio

I’m Colin Wright, a designer, brand strategist, and product person.

Since 2006 I’ve helped brands find their voice, built publishing platforms, and managed software I made from scratch. But my focus on words and what they communicate in a given context has been the red thread running through each and every project.

Selected work

  • Truly Simple Tools

    • Product Strategy
    • Design Systems
    • Brand Voice

    A software brand built on the premise that when AI makes “good enough” software free, trust becomes scarce and valuable. The naming system, voice, pricing, and UI for this project all argue for trust as an asset and restraint as a position.

  • MKE Meetups

    • Community
    • Brand Voice
    • Content Strategy

    A hand-curated Milwaukee meetups list built for a world in which events are scrapable data, and the real product is human warmth. Intentional greetings and sign-offs, featured local artists, and welcoming neighbors as sponsors convert a commodity into community.

  • Roll for Table

    • Brand Voice
    • Microcopy
    • UX Writing

    A reservation tool for people who run tabletop games, built on the idea that fluency and accessibility don't have to be zero-sum. The voice is welcoming to both veterans and newcomers, and the name, UI, and microcopy all support that inclusive approach.
