New Moz Office
When Moz moved its Seattle office in 2020, it was an ideal opportunity to elevate the brand's physical presence, improve upon shortcomings of the previous office design, and craft a welcoming space for employees. I'm honored to have served as the sole environmental graphic designer for this project.

Meeting Room and Phone Pod Privacy Films

The new office is celestial bodies-themed, so I designed a starry, 1960s-inspired privacy film pattern made of 4-pointed stars. Several rounds of print review achieved a film design that obscures fine details but doesn’t block light.

Room Name Icons
Continuing the celestial bodies theme, office meeting rooms are named after constellations, galaxies, and moons, and the spaceship-like phone pods are named for different real life spacecraft.

Wellness Room
The Wellness Room is a space for new mothers who need a private room to pump during the workday, or employees in need of first aid or a quiet place for a short rest. Every design decision in the Wellness Room (from color palette to furniture choices) was made using direct feedback from user interviews that I conducted with the room’s target audience.

Milo Baughman’s Recliner 74 chair was chosen to furnish the petite space because my user research revealed that a chair with an upright back is important for pumping ergonomics, and this recliner had the added benefit of a small footprint. Cubby spaces are provided for easy pumping equipment storage.
Wellness Room door detail. User research revealed privacy concerns that were solved by signage to clearly label whether or not the door is locked.
