Colin Miles Campbell
The entrepreneur, artist and community activist has worked as a concept designer for the past 18 years. He’s conceived and executed hundreds of high-profile projects for Fortune 500 companies and artists, such as AC Giannini, Chanel, Clockwork Apple, Chautauqua Ballet, David Copperfield, ENK Shows, Eve Sussman, Jacobo Borges, Nevada Ballet & Theatre Company, NYFestivals, Peter Brandt, Safilo East & West, Shotgun Productions, TED, Topiary Productions, William Jefferson Clinton, Urs Fischer, and the Washington Ballet. He’s managed dozens of large-scale events, building and directing creative teams with production budgets of upwards of half million dollars for a single event. He also founded ClearQuest Group – a Brooklyn-based tech company that designs and develops environmentally sustainable solutions for the consumer market. The idea for Wikiburg was seeded through Save Domino, the grassroots campaign he led to keep Brooklyn’s iconic pre-war sugar refinery from high-rise condo development. The son of preservationists who’d spent summers restoring Frank Lloyd Wright homes, he saw Domino as a dystopic realization of how urban planning can fail communities when they’re left out of the decision making process. An active member of the Committee for Urban Entrepreneurs (CUE), he is also a Tribeca Disruptive Innovation Fellow.
More talks to come! Stay tuned.
Warmly,
