Hal Kantner

Creator of Experience Enhanced Environments™ integrating story and space.

My career has offered me a focused expertise in experiential design and interpretive 3D storytelling. I most recently served as a Senior Vice President with HOK where I led that firm’s Experience Design studio. I hold undergraduate and graduate degrees from Virginia Tech’s College of Architecture and Urban Studies.

A 40 year veteran of graphic design for the built environment, my experience has been earned inside industry leading design firms. I led graphic design at Caudill Rowlett Scott (later CRSS) for 10 years, where print publishing about land planning, real estate, construction, facilities, and workplace were integral to the service offering.

25 years in leadership positions with HOK oversaw the rise of facilities as a media vehicle and my business unit served to interpret on-brand, of-culture, on-mission environments for corporate, cultural, and governmental clients.

My career focus:

Branded Environments

My responsibilities have included creative programming and design development for a wide spectrum of clients and projects globally — provisioning messages in-print, on-screen, and on-site — employing wit, surprise, and delight to create the desired audience experience.
