Workplace Environments
This portfolio showcases environmental graphics developed within the last several years, in more than a dozen professional workplaces. As a key component of each interior space, we developed theme graphics relating the interior to our local area. These mural graphics are installed in office landscape settings as well as commissaries and break spaces, lending a sense of community and sparking conversation. They also coexist with a strong program of brand graphics (by Others) and messaging throughout the spaces (omitted here per client preference).
Themed graphics met a high bar for appropriateness and finish as part of each interiors package. I drew from portfolios of top regional photographers to create artistic wall mural graphics, and extensively researched all archival photography. Visual treatments to blend the murals into the interior allow them to wear and “live” well.
