Client Profile
The client is a handbag designer who focuses on designing chic, minimalistic bags that go well with every outfit. 
However, on the client wanted to create a contrast on the inside of the bag and decided to use bright and bold colors  so that women can carry their favorite color bag everyday

Program
In North America only a third of employees feel engaged at their workplaces. This has led to billions in losses for companies across the continent. In Canada, the top three things that employees want from a workplace are collaboration, focus and comfort.
The client, therefore, wants a space that explores
human-centric solutions that look to increase well-being of the employees. 

The space needs to offer a sort of
flexibility to the employees by providing various types of individual and collaborative working spaces where employees can work individually and share it socially. 
The design should enforce the idea of
workplace as a second-home and should offer the same amount of comfort. 

Concept
The concept is carried out in the space with the help of 4 design strategies. The first one being brand identity, Then collaboration, comfort/ well-being and color.
