making spirits bright

CONCEPT SKETCHES 24

HOLIDAY PIECE HOLIDAY PIECE

As an engaged design firm, we make spirits bright. As the holiday story unfolds, familiar faces from each of our six disciplines collaborate to create an illuminated, origami gift box. Designed to surprise and delight viewers, the gift box is a true work of art. Like the paper folds of origami, various skillsets at Ayers Saint Gross combine to produce an intricate and inspiring design. This intersection of knowledge, perspectives, and expertise strengthens the culture of our firm, and the work we deliver as one. What’s inside the box is not physically revealed, but it glows from the desk of our President Luanne Greene. The light, which represents the creativity of Ayers Saint Gross, is the gift we share with the communities in which we serve.

CONCEPT SKETCHES FOR FINAL BOX

I designed the concept of this project with Angi Kwak. The two images on the left show early prototypes of the box which would be incorporated into a video. It ended up winning an SMPS award.
