Equator Chicago

services performed at Eastlake Studio

A global packaging and branding firm that outgrew its space in under two years, a good problem to have. The return engagement meant designing a larger office in the same building, with a clearer eye on how Equator actually works: where in-progress work gets pinned up, where clients and recruits get a sense of the process. Whimsical & meaningful sea creature art runs through the space as wall murals - playful, specific, and true to a firm that takes design seriously.
