SOUTHWEST RALLY EXPERIENCE

SOUTHWEST AIRLINES EMPLOYEE ENAGEMENT

For CPG and its client, Southwest Airlines, I designed the spatial layout for an employee appreciation event at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The process started with hand-drawn floor plan sketches to lock in stage and activation placement within budget, which then informed photorealistic renderings of the proposed staging and scenery. The project culminated in a master floor plan, giving the client a bird’s-eye view of the full experience from concept to execution.
