Collectarium is a publishing platform that creates design activities, and documents how these engage audiences into new ways of seeing.

This website acts as a repository for each of Collectarium's individual collections, which together reveal the capacity for acts of collecting, sorting, and categorising to catalyse new ideologies, methodologies, and opportunities for participatory and collective design.

Founders Allyson Waller and Sophie Beard are both graphic designers and university lecturers. They first met at Central Saint Martins on their BA then later started working together at the Royal College of Art whilst studying on the MA Communication Art & Design.
