Firm Overview
We Design Spaces
that express brands
and tell stories
Our mission is to create memorable, visually stunning spaces that engage audiences and help you express your own unique brand authentically within the built environment.
Provost Studio is not your typical design firm. Yes, our team is backed by deep commercial interiors and broadcast industry knowledge and award-winning design expertise — but it’s our strategic, cross-disciplined creative approach as a boutique design firm focused on branded environments that makes us unique and value-added partners.
Provost Studio has the ability to deliver truly dynamic and forward thinking corporate interiors, broadcast studios and specialty environments for its clients. Our team approaches each project as an opportunity to explore new technologies, material relationships and digital fabrication techniques that help support the conceptual narrative, brand messaging and content for each organization.
The design team at Provost is a collaborative group of professionals from diverse creative fields including architecture, interior design, branding, graphic design, exhibit design, product design, theater and film.
With this rich brain trust of creativity and experience, its work is diverse and idea-driven with no preconceived stylistic approaches. Simply, the best idea wins and egos don’t get in the way of creating exceptional visual and multi-sensory design solutions for our clients.
