Colin Henson's Email

Colin is the UX/UI Design Director for Brightcove Global Services and joined Brightcove in 2012 as Creative Director. Colin's focus is on creating high quality user experiences for client projects. Before Brightcove, Colin was an Art Director at Cramer, a small agency outside Boston and then worked as a freelance Interaction Designer and consultant. He has worked as an interactive designer in one form or another since 2000—a time when CD-ROMs were still a thing that people wanted and ‘buzz-cards’ were all the rage. He even spent time as a Flash designer/developer but prefers to forget about that. He enjoys being an on and off again ‘cord cutter’, photography and spending time with his family.
