Persona Studio
Persona aims to empower creatives through a platform and space that promotes and rewards multi-medium expression, concept collaboration and process sharing. I designed a space to house Persona the company, and serve as resource artists within the Persona community as a haven that is visually inspiring/grounding, and encourages cross-pollination of ideas, stimulation of creativity and collaboration.

In a city like NY there are limited places to experience the grounding presence of nature while also being able to create/work. We can cultivate peace to support the natural ebb and flow of work, collaboration and self-expression. This looks like incorporation of natural elements like plant life/aquatic and light distribution into a maker space filled with tools for creatives of a variety of trades.
Amongst monitors and cables there can also be vines, cascading trees and vibrant foliage to support the innate desires of our minds to be inspired by life itself. Bonuses like improved air quality and aesthetics makes this a place that can truly be individual among other co-working options, and a key resource for anyone using the space.
