Open to the Possibilities
Business Development, Creative Director, Designer
The Challenge
Honda’s global workforce was operating across silos, with limited access to shared knowledge, resources, and internal communication tools. The company needed a unified intranet platform to foster collaboration, streamline operations, and reinforce its brand culture across international teams.
The Vision
The goal was bold: to design and build a digital space that connected every Honda employee—regardless of geography or department. A platform that wasn’t just functional, but inspiring. One that reflected Honda’s spirit of innovation and openness to possibility.
The Solution
We developed Honda Connect, a modern intranet experience built on Microsoft SharePoint, designed to unify teams and empower communication.
Key features included:
Global Information Architecture: Structured to support multilingual content and regional customization
Employee-Centered Design: Informed by nationwide interviews and feedback sessions
Intuitive Navigation: Clear pathways to HR resources, company news, and team collaboration spaces
Branded Visual Language: A design system that echoed Honda’s values of precision, innovation, and unity
Secure Access & Permissions: Role-based controls to ensure privacy and relevance
