DESIGN
The AKJOHNSTON team starts the design process with a group brainstorm inclusive of all departments. Intertwining a conceptual and logistical mindset, the creative team narrows down and brings the results of the brainstorm to life through renderings and a design deck.
TECHNICAL
Our team expertly handles all technical aspects required to bring any display, event, or experiential vision to life. From lighting and audio to video and staging, we are able to supply the elements needed to transform blank spaces into immersive environments aligned with your unique vision.


So many memories and what a pleasure! You are so great! YES, I want to work again with you guys next year. I am so proud of having worked with you and so happy to have met you.

FABRICATION
Our fabrication team dissects these renderings into build drawings of tangible nature. They work their magic in the shop to bring the renderings to life as close to what has been presented as possible being mindful of seams, hardware, and all the small details.

RENTAL
The AKJOHNSTON team offers unparalleled flexibility, adapting seamlessly to meet the unique needs of each client. With an extensive inventory of customizable rental assets, we can rewrap, repaint, or expand upon elements to create impactful and dynamic spaces tailored to each project’s vision and scale.
