• Herman Miller corporate character and values of was something to admire along with their classic designs.

• The goal of the program was to create corporate messaging to the global design community, along with improved design emphasis throughout the company, from showrooms to products.

• “WE CARE” was put into action nationally by our team. During the holiday season volunteer designers would come together with children nationally to make holiday gifts for their loved ones. It was truly rewarding to be a part of this.
