Converge Collaborative is a POGM (people of the global majority) workers co-op and artist collective offering creative multimedia services to companies and organizations of all kinds. As artists and workers our practice centers collaboration, solidarity, and equity. We weave together our expressive talents with our labor expertise, and lived experiences to provide our partners with project support informed by the belief that work and labor are sites of creativity, learning and imagination. This focus on collaborative imagination flows through every part of our partner process from co-creating products, software and websites to audio-visual experiences, and more.
Who are we?
We are creatives—writers, film makers, sound designers, book makers, and visual artists—with decades of experience in strategy, design, media, marketing, and more. Our cooperative structure allows us to honor both the lived and skills-based experience of every member.
How do we work?
We approach our client services with the understanding that work and labor are sites of creativity, learning, and imagination rooted in solidarity, equity, and collaboration. Every worker-owner strives to approach each client interaction in the spirit of deep collaboration and empathy. Our labor is a practice that contributes to our spiritual, mental, and physical well being in addition to providing the resources to support our individual and collective creative endeavors.
What is the co-op?
All worker-owners collaborate in the processes of thoughtfully envisioning, designing and contributing to our labor environment. This shared co-creation process centers the humanity of every member while seeking to balance systemic realities with the goal of helping each member fulfill their creative dreams. We prioritize the emotional, material, psychic and physical needs inside our collective, our partnerships, and our communities.
What do we create?
We come together to co-create original podcasts, workshops, visual art, and publishing projects. Client work helps us to maintain our individual art practices and our collective creative work.
Our creative multimedia services include strategic planning, project management, research, digital design (UI/UX, web and visual design), photography, videography, sound production, digital marketing, social media strategy, and more. Our team brings over ten years of experience in their respective fields in addition to a wide breadth of client service experience.

Our Values
Our Values
Converge Collaborative’s values are expressed through words we reimagined to dream life into the worlds we believe are possible now. In these worlds, labor is imbued with love, care, and solidarity. These reimagined words describe the foundational ethos of the culture we are striving to build at Converge Collaborative.
Futurmagilytical
Harness interpersonal and “market-based” experiences, technical perspectives and critical analyses to imagine and build towards the future. Keep striving for conditions better than those of the past while honoring and learning from those who have engaged in these realms.
Solidarintentional
Recognize and move beyond the authoritarian systems of traditional work structures. Commit to learn, apply and proliferate methods that both nurture health and safety in community and strengthen interpersonal bonds. Intentionally and thoughtfully construct solidarity within and between the many concentric and overlapping circles in which we may individually make an impact.
