Interaction DesignVisual DesignBrandingIllustration

As one of the most important organizations inside a Fortune 500 Oil & Gas company, a majority of the business did not know what E&PS exactly did. This infographic illustrated the lifecycle of their work and just how much they affected and benefited every aspect of the business.

Phase 01

Research and Wireframes

Mapping the Lifecycle

Working directly with stakeholders across E&PS, we ran collaborative whiteboard sessions to identify every phase of the organization's work. The sessions surfaced five core functional areas. Translating that complexity into something intuitive required iterative concepting, sketching, and wireframing.

An Interactive World

The final design brought E&PS's five functional areas to life as a navigable isometric world. Each zone representing a distinct part of the organization's lifecycle. Users could explore Planning, Construction, Operations, Disposition, and Legacy Claims through illustrated scenes with layered interactive callouts.

Built for desktop, the experience let employees click into any zone to discover the specific processes, teams, and business impacts E&PS managed within it.

Beyond the Screen

The impact of the interactive infographic introduced opportunities beyond the digital experience. The floor E&PS occupied became a canvas for murals across several walls, a backlit ampersand, vinyl clings in common areas, and lightbox installations. Together they reinforced E&PS's visibility and sparked conversations throughout the organization.

The same visual language was then extended into a suite of branded merchandise: enamel pins, branded socks, peer recognition notepads, and team folders. Each piece was designed to feel like a natural extension of the digital work. What began as a communication project had grown into a full brand expression.

Results

Outcomes

The infographic became a shared reference point across the organization — educating departments that collaborated with or relied on E&PS's services, breaking down silos, and improving how teams worked together both within E&PS and across the broader business.

The final interactive piece was adopted as a core part of onboarding and recruiting. This gave interns, new hires, and prospective employees an immediate, intuitive understanding of the organization's scope and impact.
