We bring personal stories to life in personal spaces
Kollective is a design studio based in Portland, Oregon, founded by principal designer Anna-Jaël Hotzel. We work based on the idea that your story is your own and should be reflected in the space you call home. Kollective works with clients to help them discover the meaning in their experience and bring that meaning to life in their space. We design spaces that feel warm, modernist, and narrative using color, textiles, and art. We believe that home is where we can most fully be who we are and that nothing is more personal than home.
