DESIGN
From ideation to creation,
Murmuration has you covered.
​Our team provides simple solutions to even the most outlandish ideas! Give us your concept and we provide sketches, 3D renders & videos for a full 360° scope for any project you can imagine.​

5 STEP PROCESS below!
1
Sketching
Concept Art & Sketches
In this initial phase, we provide preliminary concept art and hand sketches based on your mood boards or references to hone in on a concept that best fits your vision.
2
SHAPING
Preliminary 3d modeling
Now begins the 3D design process, where we get a feel for how the build will be constructed. We will provide 4 angles as well as a 360° video of the render. This phase can easily be used to determine scale.
3
SURFACing
Textures & Materials
Here, we move the design further with added details to the 3D model with textures and material callouts. We will provide colored and textured renders as well as 360° video.
4
SCHEMATICS
technical design
For this phase, we turn the 3D render into a buildable asset with real-life materials in order to bring your project into fabrication.
5
SEND IT!
Fabrication & Construction
Finally, once the design process is complete and the technical build is fully prepped for construction, we bring your idea to life!
Watch the following
examples of our Design process from start to finish!
T-mobile
STANDS
From concept to creation, this project for T-Mobile required a clean design, geometric cuts with fundamental shapes and angles.
FIlm Set
Generator
This is a conceptual set piece for an upcoming film. From start to finish, we cover all the bases from texturing and material callouts, to bring any project into reality.

FAQ's
Why go with us?
Murmuration has thrived for 10 years in the competitive events industry thanks to our commitment to quality, creative input, and thoughtful project solutions - regardless of the role you hire us for! We can offer you all the tools and documents you need for the perfect pitch to your client, be your primary fabricator, provide 3D renders, documents and build information - even for other fabricators.
How does this streamline our process?
Over the years we’ve seen a bottleneck between freelance designers and fabricators. Why spend time workshopping a design with free software by a designer that isn’t thinking about executing the final result? Ultimately, the fabricator will have to re-draft everything they receive and you get charged twice. Let us create it right from the start, utilizing professional software by our expert build team and a shop that was founded with creativity and design at the forefront.
What if I already have concept art?
If you already have a vision and concrete ideas that’s great! However, for the most part, every project needs a 3D model in order to ultimately be fabricated. Let us assist with a master model that the project is based off of, and arrange a package that exactly fits your needs.
I already have a local fabricator,
what if i only require build designs?
We get it, some shops have different specializations or are more local to your needs. As your design partner, we can create a comprehensive visual package in a language other fabricators can understand - including 3D models, material call outs, renders, and even technical drawings. This will help you secure more accurate quotes in your bidding process, and set them on track to deliver the best possible final product.
I have an "Ai" Image I like, why should I have a 3D model?
For almost every project we create, a 3D model is mandatory for a project's success. Ai can be a great brainstorming tool, but can also set unrealistic expectations with your client, and can give the assumption that the project is much further along than it is. As fabricators, we design with the end product of a beautifully executed project from the very start. Ai can be used to provide concept and direction, but a fully 3D model will give you a 360 degree view, realistic scale, and will already be that much closer to fabrication than a one-off image.
I am on a tight budget...
Murmuration can value-engineer designs to help keep ideas on your monetary track. With so many different ways to approach a build, we can workshop cost saving ways to stay on target. With our 10+ years of event fabrication, we know what areas tend to cost more and can save money on the approach without compromising the visual integrity of the design.
