The Works Collective is an experiential creative agency and production house that transforms ideas into immersive, story-driven environments. What began with BalloonWorks and evolved through The Works LA has now become a home for design, artistry, and production all under one roof.
We craft experiences that move people through branded spaces, large-scale builds, custom fabrications, and full event execution designed with intention and impact. Whether it’s a brand activation, a high-touch event, or a cinematic buildout, every detail is shaped to evoke emotion and leave a lasting impression.
We exist at the intersection of creativity, culture, and connection. Because when design becomes an experience, it becomes something guests feel and stories they’ll remember long after the lights fade.
What began as BalloonWorks — a one-woman balloon installation studio — has grown into a creative force shaping how brands show up in the real world. For Rilee Acrey, this evolution isn’t just growth; it reflects her belief that creativity has no ceiling.
With roots in design, communication, and experiential storytelling, Rilee built The Works Collective to connect every facet of creative production from concept, design, build, and execution. Her hands-on approach and ability to turn ideas into environments have redefined what’s possible in experiential production.
Today, her work inspires connection, sparks creativity, and elevates experiences at any scale.
Because truly, it’s all in The Works.
If you're ready for immersive design, bold ideas, and a team who cares about every detail. I’d love to hear what you’re dreaming up.
