ABOUT THE FIRM
WHO WE ARE
South Florida-based interior design firm, ID Collaborative, Inc., is pleased to announce the launch of their new partnership and design studio, located at 2060 N.W. Boca Raton Boulevard, Suite 5, Boca Raton, Florida 33431.
The team is led by the firm’s partners, Karen Hansen and Brock Breaux, formerly of in.design studio, inc., and is complemented by a dedicated group of professionals, committed to serving the local community and beyond.
ID Collaborative was established on a foundation of exceptional teamwork, and trust, between the firm and their clients, and further enhanced by a client-focused approach to every detail of their projects.
Collectively, the team’s 100+ years of local, national, and international design experience is comprised of a vast range of sectors including healthcare, corporate, institutional, hospitality, multi-family, residential, and LEED certified, sustainable designs. Their passion for innovation and creativity is grounded by their clients’ requests and requirements, and supplemented by their understanding of budgets, scheduling, constructibility, and return on investment, which are merely a few of the elements inherently woven into their design solutions.
Through hard work, authenticity, and dedication, each member of the ID Collaborative team has individually and collectively earned a sterling reputation in the industry and will continue to lead as an agile, entrepreneurial company with high expectations and solid values– philosophies shared by each of the firm’s associates.
Ms. Hansen, for her part, is a graduate of Florida State University, with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Interior Design. She has been NCIDQ certified (National Council for Interior Design Qualification) since 1999 and has been a Florida Registered Interior Designer since 2000.
Her dedication and service to the community show through multiple avenues, including her volunteerism with Habitat for Humanity, her appointment to the University of Miami Architectural Advisory Board, and her appointed seat on both the Palm Beach County Criminal Justice Commission and PBC CJC Executive Committee, to name a few.
As a proud mother of two, she leads by example in her unwavering commitment to leaving the world a better place through thoughtful design, community-based acts of service, and victim advocacy.
Her partner Brock Breaux, a graduate of Ringling College of Art and Design, graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Interior Design, and is an NCIDQ certified, Florida Registered Interior Designer.
Brock has a strong passion for technology, is proficient in the industries’ most essential programs (such as Revit, BIM Collaborate Pro, and Bluebeam), and is always looking for ways to incorporate the latest innovations to visualize and communicate the firm's designs.
In his spare time, Brock enjoys a diverse range of interests that reflect his love for creativity and connection. Cooking is one of his favorite pastimes, as he enjoys trying new recipes and sharing delicious meals with family and friends. Brock cherishes weekends spent at farmers' markets with his partner, appreciating fresh produce and supporting local vendors in the community.
His most notable strengths include his ability to adapt in any situation, his nearly endless abundance of patience, and his humble, uncompromising work ethic.
The excitement at ID Collaborative continues to build with the recent achievement of their Women Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) Certification.
The team's next big announcement will formally introduce another member of the firm, a renowned Florida registered architect, who will provide their clientele with essential services such as document review and construction administration services.
ID Collaborative is looking forward to collaborating on renovations, expansions or new construction projects, and are available by appointment in their office, or on site.
