The Architecture of Discovery

We design spaces that enable business success and advance new discoveries—in the lab, around the office, and beyond.

One of our founders, Jeannie Thacker, began her career as a researcher in the lab. She has deep insight into what it’s like to work in the lab and is able to readily connect with users, gain trust, and establish a rapport. This connection is vital, forming a team approach to the project where everyone is invested.

Additionally, we know that the right design solution can help a company thrive, which is “form follows culture.” So, our approach is holistic: our visionary designers and technical experts work as one to deliver beautiful, functional designs that solve business problems.
