COLLINS opened its doors in 2008 with four desks, two laptops and a point of view:
Design is not what we make.
Design is what we make possible.
Put into action; we aim to use design as a bridge to tomorrow. To help people build futures that are so irresistible, they become inevitable.
Over the last fifteen years, this ambition has informed every aspect of our work with our clients including Spotify, Target, Nike, Mailchimp, Figma, Sweetgreen, Girl Scouts and The San Francisco Symphony. For this visit to our studio in Brooklyn, the COLLINS team would like to invite participants to join us where every project begins—our library. We’ll have coffee, snacks and a discussion led by Co-Founders Leland Maschmeyer, Brian Collins and other COLLINS leadership and crew.
We’ll talk about visuality and storytelling.
We’ll explore design’s power to build bridges to better futures.
We’ll share our experiences and knowledge.
We’ll pull a lot of books off the shelves.
We'll give away some amazing objects from the library.
We’ll go down plenty of tangents.
We hope to see you there.
