Talent Intelligence is a global management consulting firm that provides services for talent planning and human capital risk management. Undergoing a period of expansion, the company needed to move into a space it might only occupy in the relative short-term (eg on a five-year lease), with further expansion both possible and likely.

Accent colours referred to branding, but were quite subtle in an understated overall project with pleasing details.
