03 / The person behind the projects

Hello, I’m Colin.
Curiosity keeps me busy.

I build things that connect people, solve everyday problems and make room for a little wonder.

Based in Mallacoota on Australia’s Wilderness Coast, my work moves between digital platforms, community projects, websites, photography and film. OZE is where those threads come together.

Some projects start with a local need. Some start with a question. Most start with “there must be a better way”.

Something on your mind?

Good things start
with a conversation.

A website for your business. A project for your community. An idea that won’t leave you alone.
