Stand Out For Good. With Altar'd State

Designing for a brand as beloved and mission-led as Altar’d State required something more than just creativity; it demanded clarity, alignment, and trust.

From day one, our goal was to translate Altar’d State’s values into a physical space that welcomes, inspires, and gives back.  That balance, between emotional connection and performance, is never easy. But it’s the work we care about most. 

A Brand With Purpose & Precision

Altar’d State brought a strong vision, a deep understanding of their guest, and an unwavering commitment to their purpose. Their team had high expectations, of us and of themselves, and our role was to meet that with strategy, creativity, and understanding.

Together, we designed a store experience that would continue to feel like a sanctuary, while building a strong emotional connection, enhancing merchandise clarity, and meeting business goals.

Reimagining The Experience

After careful study of the strong community of followers and unique shopping journey, we expressed the one-of-a-kind brand story and designed an experience that helps associates engage guests in the seasonal product story.

Every store transformation comes with moments of challenge. What stood out was the clarity and resilience of the Altar’d State team, and mutual respect that allowed us to navigate complexity together.
