How can a workplace foster deeper connections and align its team around shared values?

ThinkPlace's global headquarters in Barton, Canberra ACT, sought to answer this question by commissioning a collaborative artwork that embodies both their core values and our own commitment to creating meaningful, value-driven art. Together, we designed a project that would inspire connection, creativity, and purpose within their workspace.

The process began with a creative team-building workshop, incorporating art therapy techniques to delve into the motivations and passions of ThinkPlace’s employees. These insights became the foundation for a mural that integrates their aspirations with our vision for art as a medium of storytelling and connection.

Painted on-site with continuous input from the team, the mural weaves together narratives and symbolic messages that align with ThinkPlace’s brand and our belief in fostering hope, patience, and care. Now displayed on the main feature wall of their open-plan office, the artwork serves as a vibrant and meaningful backdrop for work, meetings, and corporate events, bringing our shared values to life.

Timeline: Two week in house art residency, one lunch hour team building workshop with employees. 8 consecutive day artwork installation.

Team: Led by Bohie Blackwood as the workshop facilitator, artwork designer and muralist.
