Hooray—you’ve moved into a new space! Now you’re faced with a new challenge: nobody knows where things are, and the temporary post-its just aren’t cutting it.
Say hello to wayfinding signage: graphical cues to answer the questions “Where am I?”and “Where do I go?” Follow the three steps below, and you’re just a few weeks away from a clearer and more thoughtful space that will inspire everyone to get back to hustlin’.
