Sherwin Williams
Williams Gerard approached us to develop two concepts for a large corporate event for Sherwin Williams. The large stage needed to fill the arena and still connect with the audience.
The first concept was a dynamic and colorful rock 'n roll stage. Stage elements were "painted" with light providing versatility to constantly change the set over the duration of the event. For the second concept we proposed multiple layers of hanging panels and a multi-tiered stage deck. The "arrow" motif was repeated throughout the set, referencing Sherwin Williams' paint swatches. A large vertical screen in the center allowed for multiple session looks.
For both concepts we designed the theme graphics ensuring a consistent integration between stage and graphics. 2011 Creative Direction, Set Design, Graphic Design -

Macrovision
Working with our friends at the production house Red Giant Studio, we develop an integrated booth design and overall branding of the space. Our challenge was to create an environment that could easily communicate the complexities of their home media products.
The exhibit space created a virtual home media environment with multiple rooms to illustrate how the product flowed and worked through the home. The design employed contemporary materials alluding to a home of the future. The combination of opaque and transparent walls provide a unique meeting environment where conversations could take place in the "living room." 2011 Creative Direction, Exhibition Design, Graphic Design -
MonaVie
This concept design was developed with our friends at Williams Gerard for the MonaVie Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City's Convention Center. The stage design focused on staying connected with the audience at all times. This was accomplished by a number of key design decisions. The decking was multitiered, allowing the presenter to work the entire stage. Overhead a large truss, lit with LED, reached out over the audience. The center circular screen had an invisible slit allowing for a central entrance. Flanking on the left and right, were 4 large oversized rear projection screens allowing viewers towards the back to still feel connected to the presenters.

Motorola Razor
The concept uses the stage and lighting rig to split the room into two spaces, thus fulfilling the need for both stage and exhibit hall. Audience members were first welcomed into the stage area. Following the presentation, the audience was invited to enter the exhibit hall through the center of the stage, then proceed down a ramp into the exhibit hall to interact with the newly launched phone. This has both a dynamic conceptual effect as well as a great visual one.
