Women-Led Studio Launches This Week, Transforming Brands And Communities Through Experiential Design
Yardley, PA: ZAC Collaborative (ZAC) announced their launch last week on Monday, April 8, 2024. This studio offers a new way of collaborating with established and emerging brands to transform their impact through experiential design in their space and community.
“We are incredibly excited for this new chapter! We firmly believe that our passion for creativity, combined with our extensive experience in fabrication and project management, will enable us to carve out our niche in the industry. We have been committed to establishing relationships with fabricators, architects, vendors and other designers, creating plans for future collaboration. The excitement and words of encouragement from potential clients and teaming partners has proven to me that the industry is looking for a strong woman led studio like ZAC. With access to so many partners, we can help a variety of markets nationally to elevate their spaces.” says April Christiansen, Co-Founder at ZAC Collaborative. “We also have plans to continue engaging with the community through national public art initiatives. Looking forward to getting started.”
They are recognized for their skill in creating solutions that are both practical and boldly push the limits of creativity, always staying mindful of client goals, timelines, and budget considerations. Whether it’s intuitive wayfinding systems, thoughtfully designed environmental graphics, or curated public art installations, their work reflects a commitment to creating moments that leave a lasting impact. With established fabrication partners, they adeptly navigate design/build projects and value engineering exercises, ensuring seamless execution from concept to completion. Their designs and overall approach are purposeful and authentic, fostering client relationships built on trust and mutual understanding.
“We worked closely with April & Jonny to design and install signage and artwork for a women’s healthcare clinic. They were excellent at navigating the different opinions that came from our team and getting everyone aligned on a common vision during the design phase. April also proved to be an excellent project manager by keeping us updated consistently and heading off potential issues before becoming larger problems,” said Paul Haessig, VP of Strategic Initiatives (HerMD).
