First Impressions
What do you notice most when entering someone’s office? And how does that impression impact you? Office décor is a behavioral footprint. It can be intentional or accidental.

Knickknacks, photos, stacks of paper, plants, expensive furniture: These all say something about you and the place that you may spend more waking hours at than home.
