Edmund SorrellCreative Director, Experiential & Spatial Design

Hi, I’m Ed. Creative Director, Experiential & Spatial Design, based in San Francisco.

Profile

For more than 20 years I’ve designed experiential environments and spatial systems for global brands, translating complexity into clear, structured experiences shaped by narrative and audience behavior.

The work spans motor shows, customer experience centers, fan zones, interactive installations and brand environments, delivered across the US, Europe and Asia. I trained in engineering product design, so how a space is built matters to me as much as how it reads.

Approach
01

Narrative

Every space starts from a story: what the audience should understand, and in what order.

02

Spatial systems

Zones, sequence and hierarchy organized as a system that can scale, or repeat across markets.

03

Audience behavior

Designed around how people move, gather and interact, from personal onboarding to collective moments.

A successful project is
  • Aesthetically engagingConsidered in material, light and proportion at every scale.
  • Holistically designedArchitecture, media, light and sound working as one system.
  • A cohesive conceptA single spatial idea that organizes every zone and touchpoint.
  • A clear messageComplexity translated into a sequence audiences understand.
