We sat down with the creative leadership coaches from SWIM for two workshops. First we learned about the impact that effective listening can have on relationships, and brushed up on some fundamental listening skills. Then we hosted a session just for COLLINS ladies to work on ways to get more comfortable claiming visibility across a range of professional contexts.

Honored to have Nicholas Rezabek and Clay Kippen be invited once again to represent COLLINS at Design:Match — pairing professionals with pupils of the SVA Products of Design program.

Having an over-full dance card always makes us blush.

Join us this Saturday for the first Brazilian Design Conference hosted here in Brooklyn — organized by our very own Leo Porto and sponsored by COLLINS. Bonde brings together a group of leading Brazilian creative people from around the world to celebrate design and share their stories behind their most successful, innovative projects. Get your tickets here before they sell out.

Wednesday Nov. 2nd we are very exciting to be hosting Cameron Kozcon, the founder of Fictive Kin, Teux Deux and Brooklyn Beta for our Collins Presents speaker series.

This week at COLLINS Presents we are hosting Todd Simmons, Vice President of Brand Experience & Design at IBM. Todd will be speaking about design, branding and experiential design at IBM. We may have a few extra seats, so stay tuned!

We’re thrilled to have Grilli Type’s Thierry Blancpain be the third guest in our COLLINS Presents speaker series.

We hope you’ll join us at Graphic Intervention: 25 Years of International AIDS Awareness Posters 1985–2010 to The Art Directors Club Gallery this June. We designed the identity and exhibit.
