A bit aBOUT THE VIBE
Neon&9th is a full service experiential design studio specializing in thematic spaces and branding that tells a story. We distill a feeling; an intangible mood; into a physical place or tactile element for all to enjoy.
We don’t design for the ‘gram – we design a place you’ll want to be in and be seen in.
