A SPACE WHERE YOU BELONG

Many of you may not know this, but the reason why our studio is named ‘The Collective Studios’ lies behind the definition of the word collective. The term collective means done by people acting as a group or belonging or relating to all the members of a group. For us, the name of our business embodies the vision of a space, community and world we are striving to create. A place where all people come together to be inspired, empowered and live well. And for all of us to live well, we must empower and lift the voices and hearts of those who are often unheard. In order to do this, we must come together not as a group, but rather as a collective.

Below you'll find our DEI statement and intentions for integrating this work into the very fabric of our business. We will continue to share updates on our website and social media accounts as this work evolves, but our goal remains to be transparent and accountable to where we have been, where we are and where we are going.

Together, we rise.
