What People Are Saying

“Collette Collins brings art to craft. In a world of products increasingly removed from the human connection, Collette’s work invites touch.”

Dan White, Senior Associate, Mithune

“Where does it start and where does it end? Your table is amazing!”

Jeremy Joseph

“Collette doesn't just design a space, she seems to know how it wants to be lived in before anyone else does. There's an instinct to her work; a feel for scale, color, and structure that goes beyond training. You walk into a room she's shaped and it already feels like it's been that way forever.”

Patrick McGuire

“Collette does amazing work. She put her skill and creativity into the project even though I wasn’t sure what I wanted when we first met. It was her ability to hear what I wanted that made the end result beautiful!”

Sibelle Nguyen, Dubsea

“Time and again, I’ve watched Collette take on complex challenges, adapt to changing conditions, and deliver outstanding results without compromising quality. When a project demands custom millwork, casework, furniture, decorative metals, countertops, or even other architectural features like plaster, custom wallcovering, acrylic, etc. that need to be done right, Collette is the first person I call. ”
