Makeshop is a glimpse into the future of our creative economy, where vetted creative talent can help individuals in person and on demand in the setting of a coffee shop or co-working space. 

Based on the success of our first pop-up, we're expanding Makeshop into a 1 month pilot across 3 beautiful Bond Collective Locations (details below). Patrons in need of design or copy help can book 30, 60 or 120 minute one-on-one sessions with a creative -- in just a few clicks. 

Design sessions are ideal for things like:

- getting feedback on a deck

- sketching a logo/wireframes for an app

- finalizing a brand palette/style sheet

- troubleshooting technical issues in Photoshop 

Copy sessions can help you:

- get feedback on an existing site, blog post or sales funnel

- draft a new homepage or set of sales emails

- identify a target segment in your market

- learn to do customer development/research 

Following our sessions, if a patron liked working with their creative, we encourage them to continue collaborating without Makeshop's involvement. 

If you are in need of creative help, we would love to have you join us.  

Here are the details: 

- Monday to Friday (9a-8pm) from Feb 26 - Mar 30

- 3 locations across NYC (Flatiron, FiDi, Gowanus)

- 4 brilliant copywriters and designers at each site at all times

- Creative consulting or feedback on things related to design, identity, packaging, web, email and sales copywriting

- Tips and instructions on how to get the most of out of creative collaborations, ask the right questions when seeking feedback and run an efficient design/creative process

- Thought exercises, tactics and tools to help you brainstorm new ideas and get them into the world quickly 

We produced our first Makeshop "alpha" experience at Kettlespace in Tribeca on May 19th, 2017. Here's a full recap with details on how the experience worked, who was involved, what we learned and what we need to improve.

Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine, and at last, you create what you will.
