About
Our mission is to connect creatives with meaningful work.
We are an engine that can drive all of your creative pursuits.
We do this by connecting creatives (members) to one another, offering creative services to synergistic clients and offering referral services to businesses.
Our members are creatives, designers and artists from all disciplines, professional and aspiring. We are also open to members who support creatives: project managers, attorneys, accountants, etc.
Our clients are small businesses and individuals with creative projects they’d like to collaborate on. We offer affordable consultations and workshops. We also offer referral services to organizations looking for talent.
Our vision is that we see many creative dreams come true- both for members and clients- through the power of the collective.
We are one part artist community, one part creative agency and one part placement agency, with a focus on FUN.
We were founded in the fall of 2023 with a kickoff party in Portland, Oregon. See kickoff video below where we outline our vision in more detail.
We meet monthly virtually and a few times a year in person. We work on each other’s projects and bolster ideas. We expand into new disciplines and mediums. We inspire each other.
We can’t help but create
It’s in our bloodstream (yours too)
To make
To serve
To blow you away
Magic is what we bring

Our Manifesto
WATCH INTRODUCTION HERE
Our Founder, Linda Lewis
I’m the founder of this wild idea. I have a background in Interior Design, Design Operations and Project Management professionally and a whole host of creative hobbies personally.
I spent over a decade working with creatives in corporate environments and saw a LOT of people get burned out using their creativity this way, myself included. Many people supplement with outside projects and hobbies to stay engaged, but there is often not enough time to see things all the way through.
One of my super powers is connecting people to each other and to projects that will light them up. I dedicated my career to enabling others to do their best work- through physical spaces or removing barriers. I’d like to enable more people to do work they love and be paid for it accordingly without the hustle. If you know me, you know I’m a connector- of people and skills, and I love to create tangible things. Places that enable creativity, events that connect people on a deeper level, objects with beauty and purpose.
I also just want to make a lot of cool shit with people I love and admire.
