ACAVA Association for Culture Advancement through Visual Art has been collaborating with msdm since 2013 when ACAVA supported Stockwell Studio artists in finding a new home in Grange Road building, Bermondsey. The studio has since worked with Isabella Niven at ACAVA on a number of photography and self-publishing projects, both in  Blechynden Street studio and other West London- based centres.   GeorgeSt photo publication and wall photoworks were developed with St George College art students with funding from  West London Clinical Commissioning Group to create a permanent art collection for St Charles Centre for Health and Wellbeing. The bookworks developed with Venture Community Centre groups were funded by RBKC through Public Health.

ms.dm collaborates with New Suspects, the organisers of Lisbon Photobook Fair running Pageturner, workshops exploring photography, the book and self-publishing, held at the Lisbon Photographic Archive and storefront. The photobook projects, developed in a four days workshop and exhibition have been an integral part of the photobook fair since 2015, supporting participating photographers from concept and story-telling design, printing and binding to sales and promotion of the books. The projects have been show abroad at the Fiebre Photobook (Madrid) and Photobook Pop-up (London).
