In September 2023, Refine Collective curated and produced a dAY-LONG workshop for Makers United. More about Makers United below:

Makers United is building a more inclusive community of U.S. maker-entrepreneurs and craftspeople by co-creating an ecosystem where BIPOC and low- income makers feel recognized and represented, and have access to the tools they need to grow their businesses – and thrive.
A subset of Nest’s global network of creative entrepreneurs, Makers United elevates the voices of diverse makers in the United States to ensure that the growing American Makers Movement is generating opportunity for all makers regardless of gender, race, economic means or ability.

Refine Collective curated three ands-on workshops, sessions on brand building, social media video content production, and maker production for over 20 local maker business owners. We also coordinated opportunities for headshots, intentional networking, and peer review moments. We also were tased in marketing and inviting business owners to participate.
