Building a SpaceBorn from Purpose
Deonda Gardner founded Collection One Studio with a singular vision: to create a space in Tamarac that professionals, creatives, organizations, and families could truly call their own. Not just a room to rent — a destination built with intention, designed for impact, and rooted in community.
As a woman-owned and veteran-owned business, Collection One Studio carries values that run deep — professionalism, integrity, service, and an unwavering commitment to the people it serves. Deonda brings those values into every detail of the studio, from the carefully curated interiors to the warm, attentive experience that greets every guest.
Deonda recognized a gap in Broward County — beautiful, flexible, and professional spaces that could serve business meetings on Tuesday and birthday celebrations on Saturday, that could host a nonprofit fundraiser one weekend and a content creator the next. Collection One Studio was born to fill that gap.
Her background in event design and community building, combined with a deep knowledge of South Florida's entrepreneurial landscape, shaped a venue that does more than host events — it creates experiences. The studio is designed to elevate every gathering, regardless of size or occasion, and to make every client feel like they belong there.
Deonda is passionate about entrepreneurship, youth development, and the belief that access to professional, beautiful spaces is transformative — for businesses, for families, and for communities. The Youth Leadership Academy, community workshops, and nonprofit programming at Collection One Studio are an extension of that belief.
“I built this space because every gathering deserves to feel like an extension of who you are — beautiful, intentional, and exactly right.”
— Deonda Gardner, Founder & CEO
