Design Architect
STRUCK partners with organizations at moments of transformation—helping them reshape their brand, environments, and experiences to drive awareness, engagement, and growth. Our work spans destination marketing, outdoor recreation, biotech, and cultural institutions, and increasingly includes physical environments where brand, storytelling, and architecture intersect.
Our experiential and spatial design practice brings brands to life through immersive environments, installations, workplaces, and public spaces. We believe great architecture should not only function well—it should communicate ideas, create emotion, and shape human experience.
