Studio Collective

an idea, a story, a collective

We’re not just about creating — we’re about collaborating, evolving, and moving ideas forward.

We believe the best work comes from partnerships, where ideas take flight, where stories are told authentically, and when creativity drives action. Our work is about building something that lasts, something meaningful, and something you can be proud of.

Founded by Jon Maichel Thomas in Minneapolis, MN, we draw inspiration from the photos & drawings up and down Lake Street, from MCAD to the MIA, from FunkyTown to Runaway Train, from the spirit of Prince as we round the lakes. It’s from this place that we craft the ideas, stories, and experiences that fuel everything we do.

We’re a collective of creators, thinkers, and makers who work closely with you, guiding your vision from concept to execution. Whether it’s design, film, or digital experiences, our goal is to bring your vision to life in a way that feels true to who you are, while achieving something impactful.

Studio Collective is where ideas meet action, stories meet design, and collaboration meets success.

We’re ready to move your idea forward – together.
