Introducing the [SLFMADE.COLLECTIVE]
formerly known as [ D E S I G N C L L C T V ]
Whatever we do, whatever makes us tick, one thing's always true: it's better to do it with people who share our passion. Seeking community, likeminded professionals, creative allies – it's part of what makes us human. We're all looking for our own collective.
With the launch of SLFMADE.COLLECTIVE, we're uniting interior designers and architects from around the world under a single banner: irrespective of whether you design residential, commercial, hospitality, or sustainable spaces. No matter what software you use, how big your studio is, or how long you've been practicing – everyone's welcome in the Design Collective.
What Drives the Collective?
The [SLFMADE.COLLECTIVE] is not just an exclusive club reserved for the industry stars – but that doesn't mean some of the world's most innovative professionals aren't already all-in. We have award-winning studio principals, rising freelance stars, and breakthrough emerging designers. Because in the Collective, all designers are equal – from internationally recognized firms to passionate students to weekend space planners.
We all share that same passion for creating: regardless of what we design, and regardless of how we do it.The commitment to inspire and connect designers from around the planet. At industry conferences, at design weeks, at networking events, online and offline, in digital spaces and physical studios. All year round, in every city, at every opportunity.
In the Collective, we believe that exceptional design emerges from exceptional systems. When designers spend less time wrestling with administrative chaos, they create more thoughtful, innovative, and impactful work. Our comprehensive template ecosystem is engineered to:
- Simplify complex design communication - Clear frameworks that help clients understand and value your creative process
- Create seamless client experiences - From first contact to project completion, every touchpoint reinforces your professionalism
- Showcase professional expertise - Templates that position you as the strategic partner clients need, not just the decorator they want
Our Mission: Empowering Creative Excellence
Transforming Design Workflow: From Chaos to Clarity
We believe that exceptional design emerges from exceptional systems. When designers spend less time wrestling with administrative chaos, they create more thoughtful, innovative, and impactful work. Our comprehensive template ecosystem is engineered to:
- Simplify complex design communication - Clear frameworks that help clients understand and value your creative process
- Create seamless client experiences - From first contact to project completion, every touchpoint reinforces your professionalism
- Showcase professional expertise - Templates that position you as the strategic partner clients need, not just the decorator they want
Our Core Values in Action:
Craft Over Clout - Every template prioritizes functionality over flashiness. We test for usability, not just aesthetics.
Practical Over Preachy - Our resources solve real problems that working designers face daily, not theoretical challenges from business books.
Collective Over Competition - When one designer succeeds with our systems, they share improvements back to the community. We all grow together.
