About Wells

Wells Collins
Designing What Matters
For people Who Care
I'm Wells Collins, an award-winning designer based in Denver, CO. I help founders build memorable logo’s, wordmarks and brand systems that connect with the people who matter to your business.

I’m believe that great design is a product of a shared creative process.

Creative process
Currently based in Denver
With a focus on collaboration and iteration, Wells believes that great design is a product of a shared creative process.
He has worked with a diverse range of clients from all over the world, including coffee shops, restaurants, fin-tech startups, cannabis ventures, and he’s even helped brand other agencies find their look.

Wells Collins is a highly-acclaimed brand designer based in Denver, Colorado with a passion for creating:

Brand systems

A brand is built by the experiences and feelings your clients have with your company. Our responsibility is to learn your company inside and out to discover what makes you unique.

Logos

A refresh to your current logo helps to revitalize your brand and keeps the visual equity you've worked hard to build. It's important for your logo to evolve along with your company.

Wordmarks

The "word mark", is the brand name styled as a logo. The advantage of this is obvious - it immediately associates a business name with the visual identity.

Hand lettering
What started as a way to take breaks from looking at a screen all day, turned into a full blown obsession. Almost everything I do now incorporates a hint of hand-lettering.
Morning jazz
One of my favorite rituals of the day is waking up before the sun with my wife to discuss our life and plans over a cup of coffee while  listening to morning Jazz.
Product Design
Every year, I block time to learn a new skill. My latest creative pursuit is furniture design in CAD. After taking a furniture design class in college, fabricating a chair was added to the bucket list.
Mountain biking
It’s hard not to enjoy the mountains when living in Denver. We have so many great trails nearby, and biking is the perfect blend of aerobic workout uphill and adrenaline rush downhill.
Architecture
My dad is an architect and I grew up thinking with a pencil and paper. I attribute much of my style and passion for design from my years watching my dad draw elevations and floor plans.
Being a dad
I’m proud to be the dad of two beautiful girls. When I’m not working, I’m likely chasing around these high energy toddlers and just trying to make sure they eat.

Have you ever had a meal prepared for you that was totally new but, somehow, tasted like something your mother made for you when you were a kid? That's what working with Wells is like.
