The Collected Works

The Collected Works is the New York based design studio of Justin Colt and Jose Fresneda.

Over the past year we’ve done branding and interactive design for startups, creative direction and packaging for independent musicians, and retail displays for a multinational apparel company. Outside of client-based work, we’ve developed and funded self-initiated entrepreneurial projects, which have allowed us to experiment in new mediums and push ourselves to unexpected places.

We’re thrilled to collaborate with once again on the design system for their 2025 Core77 Design Awards Call for Entries.

This year, we crafted an ever-evolving, responsive design system inspired by the silhouette of the Core77 trophy. Our wireframe cube adapts to any size frame, serving as a dynamic tool to mask or reveal winning Core77 projects.

The 2025 Core77 Design Awards are now open for entries, and we highly recommend submitting your work. Learn more and enter here: https://designawards.core77.com/

Prolaio’s magic lies in its use of real-time wearable data, empowering patients and their care teams to manage health events before they become critical. To support this, we designed a visual language that subtly captures the “heart” in an artistic way—evoking a sense of calm, care, and reassurance without ever feeling clinical.

Heart disease impacts so many lives—chances are, someone close to you is affected. Prolaio is on a mission to provide support and real solutions for those dealing with it. We loved collaborating with them to break the mold and give healthcare a whole new look. In a world where traditional heart care blends into the background, Prolaio pops with fresh energy and vibrancy.

Justin & Jose recently had the pleasure to speak at Under Consideration’s First Round conference in NYC. We shared some behind-the-scenes deets on our work with Expensify, including how we navigated the project entirely on Slack with all 119 employees. We also included some signature TCW Jokes™. Thanks so much for inviting us, .

In case you haven’t heard the good news, we’ve been invited by to present at this year’s First Round in NYC.

I’m not kidding when I say that First Round is our favorite design conference. We’ve attended time and again as a studio, and it’s incredibly exciting to take the stage this year to showcase our work and share some absolute zingers of jokes.

We’d love to see some familiar faces there, so if you’re in NYC (or looking for a reason to be), why not snag some tickets: www.underconsideration.com/firstround/2024-new-york/

Also, here’s a friends-of-the-studio discount code you can plop in for 10% off: FR-NYC-TCW

Lastly, shoot us a DM or email if you’re going to be attending. We’re organizing a bit of an “after party” afterward, with drinks on us, and we’d love to give you the details.

Hope to see you there!

TCW celebrated 10 years of rad work last fall - can you believe it? We commemorated the occasion by throwing party with friends, former colleagues, fantastic clients and dogs. And a custom beer can. Major kudos to our friends at for helping us make this a reality.

One of the main objectives of the identity was to create a brand that could stand on its own, but could also take a backseat once the spotlight shifts to highlight the work of artists using Holograph’s tools.

Excited to share our work for The National and their Homecoming Festival in Cincinnati.

With our overall concept of “returning home” we created a typographic system that had a sense of movement, even when sitting still. Lots more to share here, but excited to see this going live today.

Very happy to use type from and .pangram on this one.

All Rad Mart™ shirts are printed on durable, heavyweight 100% cotton. We tested them ourselves. We tested a thinner shirt and said, “No. We can’t allow this.” And we didn’t stop until we found this winner. These shirts are guranteed* to outlast even your favorite oversized Sega Dreamcast promo shirt from ’99.

*not actually guaranteed.

Rad Mart™ is not just a very nice, beautiful, shiny and sought after store (as we hear all the time), but also a way for us support people and organizations we respect.

100% of Rad Mart™ profits go to the organizations listed on the site. We’re currently donating to The National Network of Abortion Funds. The NNAF works with more than 80 local abortion funds across the country and distributes money according to level of threat to abortion access in that area of the country. Every dollar donated to NNAF goes straight to a local fund.
