Case study: OEC Designer Jennifer Head

OEC Designer Jennifer Head uses CET Designer/Canvas to show clients exactly how their space will look with Haworth furniture. She recently redesigned the office space for the Bartholomew County, Indiana Prosecutor’s Office, which is more than an hour away from Louisville, Kentucky-based Office Environment Company (OEC) where Jennie works.

 

The distance made it difficult to meet frequently with the client. But Jennie knew the client needed to see visuals. “It would be hard for a non-designer to visualize a new office space from an AutoCAD drawing,” Jennie said. “That’s why Canvas is effective – it is practically a photograph.”

 

Using a Web-based conferencing system in which both she and the client were looking at the same Canvas-based renderings, Jennie was able to get immediate feedback from the client and make changes to the design on the fly. “Over the course of three hours, we finalized the design for an entire office space. We couldn’t have done that without Canvas showing the client exactly what they would be getting. That sold them: to see everything in 3D, in color, with fabrics and finishes, that fast,” Jennie said.

 

OEC’s new business developer also uses Canvas to simplify the selling process. “It’s an easy tool to learn and use,” Jennie said.
