During my previous life as a corporate in-house designer, I worked on a number of environmental design projects for our large corporate events and conferences. From the planning and project management phase to the design, art direction and production, I worked on all aspects of these display pieces.
I loved the entire process, including reviewing floor plans and photos of the venue and working collaboratively on where and how we could help attendees find their way in a new place. Sometimes we'd use floor decals or window decals, sometimes it would be a free-standing tower or a simple gator-board sign on an easel.
A huge part of the excitement for me was seeing it all come to life, which I was lucky to see as the corporate photographer!
