Upon arriving at Edwards Lifesciences in Irvine, visitors are greeted by a larger-than-life portrait of Miles “Lowell” Edwards. The co-inventor of the world’s first artificial heart valve is depicted on the concrete facade using the Artico Neo process. This textured concrete continues inside, guiding visitors through the lobby and up to the second level, where a custom pendant of the heart valve is suspended. This was a full team effort in collaboration with OU from concept to installation to ensure the imagery and ex*****on honored the narrative.

We had a blast hosting the latest event at our office last week! It was a festive night of tacos, connection, and storytelling. We were inspired by everyone’s inventive use of materials during our workshop as they translated the experience of their favorite meal into something physical. Thanks to everyone who joined us!

We’re proud to have supported our friends at OU in bringing Heartburst to life for Edwards Lifesciences. This sculpture honors the patients whose lives have been positively impacted by the company’s innovative structural heart technologies. Crafted from Malaysian-sourced bamboo, this piece draws inspiration from the original Heartburst that debuted at Burning Man 2023.

Our team had a heavy hand in the design engineering and fabrication, playing a major role in transforming the creative concept into a large-scale, buildable installation. We’re honored to have helped shape this powerful work from concept to reality.

Excited to share our work for this confidential tech client in San Diego that supports specialized electronics labs with a culture rooted in creativity, sustainability, and wellness. We partnered with ’s interior architect team to develop a distinct narrative and visual strategy—a cohesive transition between the buzz of the urban city and the calm of San Diego’s natural landscape.

We designed, fabricated, and installed sculptures, floor graphics, murals, environmental graphics, styling, immersive conference rooms, wayfinding, and curated art. Our process was deeply collaborative, ensuring our scope felt integrated with playful moments and hidden surprises for the users.

The layered elevator lobby installation was designed using geometry pulled from the storytelling throughout the floor, with integrated viewfinders showcasing vintage postcards from iconic San Diego locations. As users traverse the floor, they are greeted by a Monte Carlo-themed conference room, Balboa Park wall-mounted sculptures, and a poster series highlighting a cyclist’s journey from downtown to home. These areas, with the rest of the floor, weave together local identity and a sense of belonging for the client’s employees.

Thank you for the feature! (Link in our bio)

For their Tustin office, Subaru collaborated with CBRE to create a playful outback experience. Steeped in a culture of adventure and exploration, Subaru’s DNA is rooted in the open road and the rugged landscapes. Similar to how their customers might seek out nature for a moment of solitude, visitors can sit inside this giant fiberglass boulder for a moment of reprieve.

Inspired by California’s redwood forests, “Suspended Reflections” is a hanging sculpture composed of custom anodized aluminum chains. Each of the 841 individual links serves as a pixel within a larger composition, cascading into a gradient reminiscent of forest light and shadow. Flowing from beneath the staircase and dissolving seamlessly into the custom floor gradients below, the work creates a dialogue between architecture and landscape. With no two chain links alike, the layered forms conjure the shifting shadows and quiet movement of redwood undergrowth, merging the natural and the man-made into a contemplative, immersive display.

Step into this space for Google designed to capture the serene feeling of a dewy Northern California morning in collaboration with . Our 3D designers and engineers created a canopy of oversized “dew drops” that drape over the soft lounge area offering a unique, refracted view of the building’s expansive ceiling. The vibrant custom mural pays homage to the area’s orchard history, inspired by the artisanal canning labels from the 1920s fruit canning boom (when the region was known as “Fruit of the Valley”). Custom pillows echo this graphic language, subtly referencing the surrounding neighborhoods.

Throwback to an unforgettable moment at Warner Music Group’s West Coast HQ, where LA artists and live-painted a piece that now hangs behind a legendary piano that’s been played by countless icons. Rooted in the 777 S. Santa Fe address, which was once home to the Ford Model T assembly plant in the Arts District in DTLA, the artwork is a tribute to history and a celebration of community.

During the event, Trav left a section of the canvas unfinished, inviting Warner employees to pick up a brush and paint the final strokes together. This collaborative moment ensured the piece carries the story of Warner Music Group’s people, place, and legacy.

Thanks to Trav MSK and Emjay for bringing this vision to life, and to for allowing us to curate such a meaningful celebration of unity, creativity, and history.

A few weeks ago, we attended the groundbreaking ceremony for Neutral’s major new development, Edison. This building sets a new standard for construction practices by leveraging Mass Timber technology. At 32 stories tall, Edison is on track to become the tallest mass timber building in the world.

We’re honored to be the art curation and art experience thought partner for Neutral’s sustainable luxury housing projects in Madison and Milwaukee. Our team looks forward to providing continuous support to these projects, emphasizing wellness, longevity, and intentional living for their communities. Looking forward to the continued collaboration
