Uniting Time & Space for Discord
Client
Discord
Challenge
Discord activated at over 60 events in a single year, yet the brand experience varied dramatically from one location to the next. With no unified system to guide teams into the brand experience realm, internal teams faced a binary choice: avoid overt branding and lose brand equity, or employ last-minute solutions that undermine brand consistency. While brand guidelines existed, they had never been translated into tangible, three-dimensional space nor an event-specific messaging system.
Opportunity
Design a comprehensive brand experience system — from strategic framework to production-ready playbooks — that empowers Discord teams to activate consistently across scales, from intimate 1:1 meetings to tentpole events like GDC, CES or Cannes. Create a physical and visual expression of Discord’s core purpose: a gathering space for connection across time, space and interest.

Illuminating Times Square for Barclays
Client
Barclays
Challenge
Barclays NYC headquarters at 745 7th Ave features a bold digital media facade integrated into its architecture. It serves as a major communication platform for Barclays, enabling them to signal their brand, and communicate their values to the millions of people passing through the heart of Times Square. Barclays wanted to reimagine their brand impression to foreground their impact on individuals, businesses, and the global economy.
Opportunity
Express the Barclays brand essence in a way that is both authentic and arresting in the midst of the visual complexity of Times Square. Develop a countervailing visual impression to boldly embody Barclays’ role in the modern economy.

Visualizing Limitless Energy with CFS
Client
Commonwealth Fusion Systems
Challenge
Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) recently unveiled a new, state-of-the-art campus in Devens, Massachusetts that houses offices, manufacturing facilities, and SPARC – the world’s first net energy (Q>1) compact fusion system. To inspire, empower, and champion the next generation of energy stewards paving the way for equal energy access, CFS wanted to create an artwork that represents its vision for fusion energy.
Opportunity
Engage key partners, stakeholders and guests visiting the campus with the core concepts of fusion energy and CFS’ technology. Transform the complex and hidden aspects of fusion energy systems (those at the molecular scale, or out of sight / below ground) into an inspirational visualization to support storytelling and education.
