Interface Studio LLC

2020 brought about an Interface baby boom - 4 in one year! Our solution to get together on the tail end of lockdowns included an outdoor party. That’s a whole mess of babies on that blanket. We sometimes have little visitors in the office which is always welcome.

Engagement has been a centerpiece to our work since the get go. The engagement needs to be fun to encourage folks to tell their neighbors and friends to get involved. We pioneered quite a few techniques over the years and still love the opportunity to connect with folks.

GR Forward was the brand created for our downtown and river corridor plan. Along with our friends at Downtown Grand Rapids Inc. creative engagement took center stage. The plan’s comprehensive focus on equity won an International Downtown Association Pinnacle Award. We love seeing the built progress (including a long-requested downtown supermarket) and that DGRI celebrated the anniversary with a cake!
