Hello, I’m Ryan Colgin, a Senior Product Designer based in New Orleans.
I have 20+ years of experience designing digital products, interfaces, and systems across enterprise SaaS, ecommerce, travel, loyalty, fintech, and operational workflows. My work focuses on turning complex requirements, business rules, and user needs into clear, scalable product experiences across responsive web and mobile platforms.
I’ve partnered with product managers, engineers, design-system teams, researchers, executives, and enterprise stakeholders to shape booking flows, checkout experiences, profile tools, internal platforms, B2B workflows, and data-heavy interfaces. I’m especially interested in products where good design can make complicated systems feel more understandable, useful, and trustworthy.
Before moving deeper into product design, I spent years in branding, advertising, interactive design, front-end development, and creative direction. That background still shapes how I work: I care about clarity, craft, systems, storytelling, and the small details that make an experience feel considered.
Outside of product design, I’m usually making something: renovating old New Orleans houses, painting tabletop terrain, taking analog photos, carving wood or linocuts, or chasing down some half-formed creative project before it escapes into the weeds.
Feel free to reach out if you’d like to talk about product design, complex workflows, design systems, or potential opportunities.
