Touch Free Wellness Spa - Towson, MD.
In October 2020 I was approached by Touch Free Wellness Spa owner, Michael Dent, about creating custom signage for his new holistic wellness spa.
After seeing my Color Catcher designs, Dent was inspired to use the geometric style in his spa to reflect the cutting-edge technology of his services.
After many conversations and him sharing his vision of the space with me, I knew this collaboration would be the perfect fit based on our shared mission to help others become more connected with their minds and bodies through health and wellness.
Through this collaboration, Dent commissioned me to create designs for several elements within the space:
Spa Treatment Room Signage (Design and Production)
Wall Sconce Lighting Designs
Overhead Lighting Designs
Lobby Shadow Paintings (Original Artwork)

Custom Signage, Lighting and Shadow Paintings
Spa Room Signage
Colorful shadows are cast behind the room signage to bring extra life into the hallway and make visitors more engaged with the space in which they are passing through.

In collaboration with Dent’s design team we curated color palettes to reflect the energy of each spa treatment room.
Unifying the lighting elements described below, the room signage incorporates geometric designs, transparent elements, and colorful shadows that energize the hallway.
Once the designs were finalized and I began the production process, Dent used the color palette of each sign as his source of inspiration when selecting the wall colors and overall aesthetic of each room.
Custom lighting was created using the Color Catcher series as the source of inspiration for the space. The designs are back-lit to fill the space with a glowing, meditative, magic as the visitor enjoys their holistic spa treatment.

Overhead & Wall Sconce Lighting
Previously established color catcher designs took new life in this space as they were customized to become illuminating wall sconces and overhead light installations. While the spa visitors enjoy their treatment, the color designs fill the room and provide a meditative experience.
I created the custom designs and Dent facilitated the production of these light elements with his building team. Images of these lighting elements are seen in the photos below.
Geometric Shadow Paintings
For visitors waiting for their treatment, colorful shadow paintings are displayed in the lobby to give them a taste of what awaits in each treatment room. As part of the Shadows Of Influence Series these shadow paintings bring the colorful experience full circle.
