How It Works

1 Exploratory Meeting + Venue Visit

Our founder, Francesca, will meet with store partners on an exploratory call to discuss collaboration.
There, they’ll determine event details: date, theme, price estimate, number of seats, and any add-ons
(ie. food/beverage charges). Then, Francesca will schedule a site visit to see the space.

2 Proposal

Our team will provide store partners with a recap of the exploratory call and finalize any remaining
event details. Then, they will collaborate on a timeline for the marketing design + social rollout.

3 Marketing Design + Social Rollout

Our creatives will design all social assets, like social fliers and event recap videos.
Store partners will have the opportunity to
see assets before we handle the collab post.

4 Event Day

Our team handles workshop setup and breakdown, partnering with store partners/staff to ensure the space is left as sparkling as we found it.

From the founder: Graphic designer
+ collage artist, Francesca Maida

I’m sick of screens (+ you probably are too).

I’m a graphic designer by trade, specializing in making the stuff that lives online — think websites, emails, and ads for the brands you know and love. After spending the whole day on the computer, I itch to make something with my hands. Enter: scissors, paper, and glue. I’ve found such bliss in the collage process — the slow pace, creative flow state, and well-earned satisfaction of art-making.

I wanted to bring others that same enjoyment, a few hours of digital reprieve, and the chance to meet other creative people IRL. I started hosting collage workshops across NYC in the summer of 2025, and the interest has grown exponentially since then. The people yearn for paper! With new partnerships, venues, and folks interested in collage, there’s no better time to bring all of my workshops and products under one roof. Welcome to Collageria!
