Summary
Gavin Weeks is a seasoned founder and creative technology leader with 13+ years building products at the intersection of gaming, esports and digital collectibles. As Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Kolex he combines UX-first product design with platform engineering to deliver provenance-backed collectible experiences trusted by major global brands. His background spans running multiple startups (Ryze Software, Esportsify, Jowst) and leading creative and product teams at scale, giving him rare fluency across strategy, design and implementation. Gavin’s roots in front-end, interaction design and accessibility (dating back to freelance work in the late 1990s) inform a hands-on approach to usable, standards-driven software. Based in Bath, UK, he’s as comfortable sketching UX flows as he is shaping platform roadmaps and commercial partnerships. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of repeatedly turning community-focused gaming concepts into viable, acquisitive businesses.
