Collin Scott
Lead UX/UI Designer at WebMD, focused on design systems, Design Operations, and product design.
I am a Lead UX/UI Designer at WebMD, where I manage the Medscape design system, which covers web and app components, iconography, typography, and design tokens. I also lead product design for internal and external software, including educational tools, live event experiences, and internal applications.
I hold a B.S. in Computer Science from Appalachian State University, and that background shapes how I work. I design with implementation in mind, partner closely with engineering, and build the documentation and processes that make handoff predictable.
I approach product challenges through Continuous Discovery, working with product managers and engineers to validate ideas early and refine them through research, prototyping, and iteration.
Before WebMD, I led UX/UI design and front-end development for agency clients at Lazarus Design Team, designed and developed products for RaysWeather.com, and served as Lead Creative Designer for Appalachian State University Football. Outside of work, I design and develop independent app projects.
