What is Bracks Collective?

Unlike many other programs, Chatham University’s Interdisciplinary Design master’s program is welcoming and collaborative. Where other programs might encourage competition amongst students, Chatham encouraged collaborative, constructive feedback in an infectiously inspiring environment. As Chatham grads, we missed this collaboration, feedback, and environment and created one of our own. While we weren’t all at Chatham at exactly the same time, we crossed paths and connected. Each with a different niche or speciality, unique style, and different experience to bring to our projects. And thus Bracks Collective was born.
