About - Domain test

Domains

We work within focused domains, each tailored to match the client’s scale and vision.

Studio

Enterprise

Labs

Our Studio designs bespoke projects by stepping back and asking, what do you hope to achieve? Whether the answer be building branding or breaking barriers, we translate the goal into digital-architectural integrations. Drawing from à la carte services, we conceptualize and engineer creative solutions.

Our Enterprise domain builds partnerships with on-going, multi-site clients. We help manage international portfolios that balance global standards with site-specific flexibility. As we guide projects from initial visioning to long-term monitoring, we ensure each step is actionable and measurable.

Our Lab is a unique in-house Research & Development hub. It is both TAD’s nuts-and-bolts workshop for prototyping new ideas, as well as a sandbox for verifying existing products. By first testing technologies in the Lab, we help clients minimize risk before investing in the final deployment.

About - Practice test

Practices

We are strategists, designers, engineers, and project managers who represent the best of our respective fields.

Strategy Consultants

Project Managers

Physical Designers

Visual Designers

System Engineers

Our Strategy Consultants embed themselves into an organization to understand the client’s unique challenges, users, systems, and workflows. We advise short and long-term strategies that are contextualized, actionable, and measurable.

Our Project Managers oversee projects from inception to conclusion, guiding TAD’s team and contractors to deliver their best work. We follow best management practices to remain efficient, consistent, and transparent.

Our Physical Designers merge technology and the built environment into a fluid experience both on and off the screen. We balance visual impact, usability, and maintenance to ensure our designs stay relevant and engaging.

Our Visual Designers interpret the client’s values and needs into an impactful visual narration. Through firsthand and market research we create visual media and motion graphics that strategically express the storyline.

Our System Engineers integrate digital infrastructures at all scales, scopes, and levels of complexity. With disciplined attention-to-detail, we build a frictionless ecosystem from AV, IT, hardware, and software components.

Project Management Service

We create a comprehensive, actionable strategy that incorporates visioning, benchmarking, design standards, and integrative workplace initiatives.

We devise comprehensive digital strategies by drawing from industry trends, stakeholder workshops, and our own subject matter experts. Our consultation includes visioning, benchmarking, design standards, and integrative workplace initiatives—each with a phased, actionable roadmap.

We engineer digital solutions of all sizes, from conference rooms to multi-site ecosystems, each of which prioritizes user experience, interoperability, and scalability.

We engineer digital solutions that prioritize user experience. Whether designing a conference room, auditorium, command center, or studio, our guiding principle is ease-of-use. We layer resource management and other distributed systems to further connect this digital ecosystem. When the design bridges several locations, we develop a ‘kit of parts’ and other scalable tools.

We craft visual stories that inform, delight, and guide users. We interpret the brand's vision and values into graphics, motion graphics, style guides, and UI kits.

We craft visual narratives that inform, delight, and guide users across digital touchpoints. Our process begins by interpreting the client’s brand, values, and vision into a strategic story. We visualize this story by creating or curating graphic designs, motion graphics, style guides, and user-interface kits, which may be maintained through content management software.

The entire TAD team collaborates to unite the branding, architecture, technology, media, and software into a curated, multi-sensory digital experience.

TAD’s Digital Experience Design is a rich collaboration between our Strategy, Physical, Systems, and Visual practices. Together we integrate the client’s mission, branding, architectural form, visualization, technology system, and software into a singular vision. The result encompasses users in a sweeping multi-sensory experience.

TAD.monitor is a tailored approach to device monitoring that prioritizes the human experience.

TAD.monitor is our own monitoring platform that unites AV, IT, and Facility departments into a single screen. TAD.monitor gathers data from systems and sensors regardless of their manufacturer and location. Through data synthesis, TAD.monitor generates historic, real-time, and predictive reports on usage and performance. It provides two-way communication to simplify remote troubleshooting.

We bring technical expertise to any project by bridging AEC processes including planning, facilities, network security, and AV.

We bring technical expertise to any project by bridging AEC processes including planning, facilities, network security, and AV. Our knowledge spans the gaps between technology, architecture, and design, allowing us to coordinate multiple vendors to make the complexity and the intricacy of technical design more immediate and approachable.
