The Context
Electric Hydrogen builds the world's most powerful electrolyzers. Their San Jose facilities regularly host investors, financiers, policymakers, and industrial customers who need to understand EH2's market credibility and ability to execute at scale.
The Challenge
Transform raw industrial spaces into a sequential tour experience that balances technical accuracy with investor messaging, while meeting IP, safety, and brand requirements.
How we transformed the space
We created a unified environmental design system—wall graphics, wayfinding, iconography, and photography—to transform EH2's facilities into a clear, investor-ready brand experience.
Environmental Graphics
Large-scale wall graphics, timelines, and technical storytelling
Wayfinding & Signage
Clear navigation systems integrated with safety requirements
Visual System Expansion
Scalable iconography and design language for future facilities
From discovery to delivery
On-Site Discovery
Conducted comprehensive facility walkthroughs to understand spatial flow, lighting conditions, tour sequencing, and visitor decision points. Documented dimensions, surfaces, and physical constraints.
Concepting & Ideation
Explored multiple design directions through hand sketches, rough layouts, script writing, and initial timeline planning to establish visual hierarchy, composition, messaging flow, and project milestones.

Digital Development
Translated concepts into high-fidelity digital mockups using Figma, incorporating brand guidelines, photography, and technical specifications.
Presentation & Mockups
Created high-fidelity mockups and presentation materials to visualize the final environmental graphics in context, enabling stakeholder alignment before production.
Final Design & Distribution
Finalized all design concepts, prepared production files, and coordinated with vendors to execute the installation across both facilities.
Environmental Graphics & Wayfinding
A comprehensive system of wall graphics, signage, and wayfinding that transforms Electric Hydrogen's facilities into branded, investor-ready experiences.
Final Mockups
Professional visualizations showing the environmental graphics in context using on-site photography for accurate lighting and proportions.
