The Collected Works is an independent design studio with a distinct footprint operating across New York City and New Orleans. Grounded in their signature mantra, “Rad Work for Rad People™,” the studio rejects ordinary, commercial design formulas in favour of vibrant, personality-driven creative solutions.
They frequently collaborate with forward-thinking clients across the music, art, and technology sectors, seamlessly bridging the gap between digital interaction and physical artifacts.
The studio’s portfolio is a testament to multi-disciplinary mastery, featuring highly acclaimed global projects like the Dropbox website redesign campaign, Expensify’s brand identity, and the comprehensive visual system for the PRINT Awards.
Their digital space is immaculately developed, utilizing premium typography, grid layouts, and active real-time clocks tracking their office locations.
The agency has repeatedly garnered high-tier press coverage from major industry authorities like CreativeBoom and The Brand Identity for their ability to subvert traditional corporate visual languages.
