OFFICE DESIGN
Your office space isn't just a place for your team to get work done; it's the bedrock of your company culture. When done right, the design should convey your vision for the company without actually explaining it. When driven to act quickly, too many founders forget to think long-term before setting up a space for their growing team. The new design often doesn't feel like a good fit when it is complete. Those founders spend years working to undo the damage caused by a space that doesn't align with their long-term vision for the company.
Your design aims to communicate your company culture without words. The goal is for anyone who walks in, sees it online, or reads about it in a journal to understand the essence of your company immediately.
Just because your office is a private interior space, it doesn't mean that the world won't be able to see it. Your workplace might even become one of the most important recruitment tools you have online because good design gets noticed and then gets shared. Your office design is a chance for potential employees and customers to know your company culture from the inside and trust you. It's your chance to show the world what kind of company you are.
