Universal
McCann
Universal McCann (UM) became the newest tenant of this NYC Financial District workspace. To define the open floor plan, I designed a series of structural and graphic elements. At the reception landing, I created a freestanding wooden slat wall that provided a clear entry point for employees and guests. I integrated the UM badge logo into the structure which reinforced the company’s branding within the material palette. I also placed wall graphics and painted columns throughout the office to create additional focal points.
