This page features three client accounts where I created graphic design solutions for their interior needs: Sodexo Buffalo, Sodexo Irvine, Buffalo Niagara Partnership. I designed the environmental graphics, sourced and established vendor relationships, and oversaw all installations.
Sodexo Buffalo: This project presented an opportunity to work with the client and architect to create a holistic office environment. From the moment an employee enters the building there are cohesive touchpoints to welcome and direct them. Even the elevator ride is enhanced. Unsolicited response from employees has been very positive.
Sodexo Irvine: Compared to Sodexo Buffalo, this office was a much smaller footprint with different needs. Wayfinding, office enhancement and tools that address the office’s international function were the focus.
Buffalo Niagara Partnership: This installation was simply to enhance the entrance to their boardroom by emphasizing the mission and values.
