Intro

The intent of the project was to evaluate Gensler's current material management platform, Designer Pages, and help client picture the next generation platform.

We worked with a Gensler design principal, several junior designers, librarian and material sourcing supplier to identify orthodoxies and trends in interior design industry. We noticed that designers manage their projects by using a variety of tools which have no connection to each other and have drawn redundant communication in all levels. The result of the project is a succinct platform that 1. manages compliance, 2. identifies critical themes, 3. connects with end users.
