Let's crash your event:
TCW Speaking
The Collected Works (TCW) loves nothing more than being handed a microphone and a chance to share our journey, lessons learned, and the occasional design disaster at speaking events. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of presenting at various festivals and venues such as Brand New: First Round, The New York Times, Pentagram, The School of Visual Arts, and the New York Design Club, among others. Our talks delve into the adventure of starting and running a design studio in NYC for over a decade, the thrill of tackling various projects with a huge range of clients, and the broader experience of navigating the complexities of life. Interested in booking TCW for a festival or conference? We’re game, let’s chat.
