Over the past 150 years, the YMCA of Greater New York has built a network of 24 locations serving nearly half a million people in neighborhoods across the 5 boroughs. Two Twelve is thrilled to be partnering with the YMCA to develop a comprehensive, adaptable wayfinding and signage system that will unify the experience at every branch.
Two Twelve is a public information design firm with roots in wayfinding, the art and science of helping people navigate the built environment. A pioneering force in the environmental—or experiential—graphic design (EGD) industry, Two Twelve has since expanded its capabilities to include sophisticated information design as well as signage. With the belief that the principles of wayfinding can be applied to complex information as well as complex spaces, we take pride in our strategy-driven approach to projects of all sizes.
In our work, we strive to make the world a better place through design. We appreciate that public information design is for everyone, and we leverage our collaborative process to advocate for the user experience and generate better outcomes.
We excel in tackling challenging environments and information. Every project has a hidden logic, and we apply a collaborative, creative process to build strategies and develop designs from that logic. We value the diverse perspectives of our team and benefit from their varied approaches to complex problems. With an emphasis on sharing ideas and resources, our process yields custom solutions for each and every project.
Two Twelve is a public information design firm that develops sustainable, user-centered designs to help people understand an increasingly complicated world.
