Media Objectives

The environment in which we live, work and play allows for experiences that transition between the digital world and its architectural counterpart. This realization and the need to offer broader services led to the formation of Media Objectives, an embedded experiential design studio at Valerio Dewalt Train Associates.

Congratulations to Joe Lawton for 17 years of design!

Happy work anniversary to our Principal and Founder, Joe Lawton!

"I'm so grateful for VDT giving me the opportunity and foundation to build this studio. And am so thankful for every creative, collaborator, and client that has been a part of this journey. M-O wouldn't be here if it wasn't for all of these contributors, risk-takers, and dreamers."

"May you live in interesting times," goes the ubiquitous phrase (curse?) of dubious origin—and here we are, strangely both closer together, and farther apart than ever before. But designers and fabricators dig a challenge, right? The SEGD community is a truly special group of people from around the globe—bound together by their warm collegial comportment, and love of design excellence and shared experiences—who continue to find creative ways to connect, inspire and help others across their teams and across the globe.
