The making of

Watch how six core principles became a permanent part of the headquarters environment.

HOW IT CAME TO LIFE

Built for the Space

Designed around the architecture, informed by the people, and executed to feel like it had always belonged there.

  1. Walk the space

    Explored the environment alongside architects to understand how employees would move through, gather within, and experience the space every day.

  2. Design for the architecture

    Created artwork around the scale, materials, and character of each environment rather than forcing graphics onto existing walls.

  3. See it through installation

    Oversaw production and execution to ensure the finished murals reflected the original vision.

The best part

Some projects come full circle

Todd and I met in design school, and while our careers have taken very different paths, working together still feels familiar. Years later, he trusted me to design and install the LendingTree murals because he knew the work would be thoughtful, executed well, and seen through to the end. That kind of trust, built over decades, is one of the most rewarding parts of this work.
