A Welcoming Space in Uncertain Times: Inspired by a famous rockstar’s home, PerkUP Financial Health’s new space aims for a peaceful feel that complements the company’s goal to help those on rocky financial footing. To create the calm, airy office space, we focused on residential design elements. I was inspired by Lenny Kravitz’s home in Brazil with large murals, and came up with my own "super graphic" concept, which I had muralist Liz Kamarul paint. I also used natural materials for partitions and designed partitions for office area and storage. Greenery and lamps add to the calmness. The bold graphic serves as a focal point to the space. The mural is what brings it together- it gives it a kind of a vintage tropical feel appropriate to New Orleans.
