The Collection Atelier

Curating experiences under The Collection Atelier is more than event planning — it’s a form of storytelling. I love watching people light up in beautifully considered spaces, where every element has been chosen with care and intention. From collaborating with my clients on the perfect guest list to securing the date at a buzzing, of-the-moment restaurant, I guide every step: from exceptional food and cocktails to a thoughtfully styled table, and an invite that sets the tone the moment it lands. For fashion-conscious individuals and tastemakers, a night out is never just dinner — it’s an energy, a memory, a moment. The vibe is everything. And when it’s right, people feel it. Curation is an art — one that blends instinct, taste, and precision. It’s about translating vision into atmosphere, and ensuring every gathering — no matter how intimate — leaves a lasting impression. Thank you Nicole Hartwig and the incredible team at Swap for trusting me to curate these past few dinners for Fashion Founders. To the amazing community who joined and brought the energy to life, we have SO much more to come… 💌If you’re interested in working together to build thoughtfully curated events through a fashion lens, I’d love to connect. ✨Location: Mount Street Restaurant 📸 Photos: @natmartinezphotography 🥂 Event: The Nest by Swap ***Also if you are in the e-commerce space, and interested on learning more about The Nest Community.

🎂 🥂 🎉 The Collection Atelier turns one!! 🎂 🥂 🎉 A year ago, I made the leap from a role I loved with an incredible team to build something entirely my own. The transition from corporate security to just me, my laptop, and a list of dream clients was terrifying—but it's taught me to trust my instincts completely. This year has been insane. The Collection Atelier has partnered with over 15 brands and clients, who've trusted us with their vision, spanning everything from our lingerie roots to activewear, swim, golf wear, and beyond. We've earned features in Vogue, Marie Claire, Glamour, Daily Mail & more, while building a genuine community around our work and industry insights. ( 🤳 shameless plug to follow us on IG! https://lnkd.in/dESbjBUq) We've curated intimate fashion industry dinners that bring together founders, designers, and innovators for meaningful conversations, developed social media marketing campaigns that delivered 200% follower growth for clients, and created event concepts alongside established industry partners. What set my idea for The Collection Atelier apart from the beginning is our integrated approach—we're more than a traditional product design agency, and it shows. We've become true partners who bring marketing, design, and brand strategy together from day one, ensuring our clients have one cohesive story from the very beginning of our collaboration. The numbers are gratifying—I've exceeded my previous corporate compensation doing work that genuinely energizes me. But what the metrics don't show are the late-night strategy calls with mentors, the honest conversations with fellow founders over wine, the unwavering support from my husband (Juan Pellerano-Rendón) who believes in this vision even when I have doubts, and the clients & partners who have supported this from day one (Bruno Solari 💚 ). The foundation we've built with incredible founders (Dominic Natalizio, Ashley Revay, Danielle Rushton, Izzy Howell, Mary Scott Jameson, Samantha Kravietz, Aparna Avasarala, Lauren Sudeyko, Mackenzie Ostrowski, The Female Founder Collective, Rebecca Minkoff, Alison Koplar Wyatt, Jewel E. to name a few!)—from tech innovators to design visionaries—has become both the backbone of our business and a source of ongoing inspiration. Year two starts now with clear momentum and bigger ambitions than ever! 📈 #Entrepreneurship #FashionIndustry #TheCollectionAtelier 🎂
