Ankrom Moisan Portland Headquarters Signage
Our team was tasked with the challenge of creating a naming system to differentiate the four wings of the brand new headquarters for Ankrom Moisan, an architecture, interiors, urban planning, and branding firm. To tie back to Ankrom’s architecture origins, the four wings were named after four basic building materials: metal, wood, glass, and concrete. Names were chosen to correspond with the material of the wing, size and location of the room. The conference room signage was cut from the same blackened steel used as interior accents of the building. My role was to take the naming concept and the chosen material and create the designs and placement for all of the signage.

Ankrom Moisan Portland Headquarters - Interactive Cork Wall
Our team was also tasked with creating an interactive moment that greets visitors to Ankrom Moisan’s main floor. After creative brainstorming sessions and a clear budget we decided to create an analog version of a Light Bright out of wine corks. Reflecting the mission to use basic materials in the four wings of the office we set out to create a custom drilled “peg board” and wine corks with painted ends. This adventure required us to paint over 5,000 corks. Both ends. The result of our hard work was a truly interactive message board or art piece that can be easily customized, draws in the viewers, and creates more interest in learning more about the space and about Ankrom.
