Hello, I am Colleen Chin.
I’m a Senior UX Designer at The Home Depot, where I design tools for Pro builders and the associates who serve them. My work lives in complex B2B workflows: quoting, materials, and systems that grew up separately and never quite fit together. I love untangling them into experiences that make sense for the people using them and that teams can actually build on.
How I work
-
Start with the real workflow. I spend time with users and subject matter experts to understand how work actually gets done, not how we assume it does.
-
Zoom out, then in. I map the whole system before designing a single screen, so fixes don’t just move the problem somewhere else.
-
Make the case. Good design needs buy-in. I turn research into stories that help partners and leaders align on where to go next.
Outside of work
You’ll usually find me weight training and chasing a new goal, or prototyping side projects just to see what’s possible.
My Journey
From the fashion floor to digital experiences, my journey has always centered on understanding people — what they need, value, and choose.
I spent over a decade designing, marketing, and merchandising for global brands like Gap, Ralph Lauren, and J.Crew, learning how to balance aesthetics, usability, and business goals
Today, as a Senior UX Designer at The Home Depot, I design for a very different customer: Pro builders and the associates who serve them. But the core question hasn’t changed: how do people find, compare, and choose what they need? That’s the territory I work in now, across quoting, materials, and the systems behind them.
