About – Colin Pearsall

A bit about me

I have worked for advertising agencies, production companies, studios, and post houses. Most recently I restructured and led a public health non-profit. 

I’m an upbeat and creative production expert. I’ve produced content, apps, experiences, programs, systems, and entirely new services. 

I thrive in situations where no instructions exist, leveraging my skills in team building and experimentation.  

I strive to make work better and to make systems better. I bring curiosity and humor to this mission every day.
