A B O U T M E

I am a seasoned Creative Professional in the

Visual Merchandising and Retail Store Design

Industry, and have held key executive positions in

the leading brands across the retail landscape.

my professional credo is quite simple .

create an immersive, brand-defining in-store

environemt that transoforms the customer

experience form casual shopper, to loyal brand

evangelist through enticement, arrousal, and

desire to purchase, by touching all 5 senses.

my experience includes the devlopment of

traffic-stopping windows, merchandising and

product placement, seasonal and environmental

propping, store designs and fixture creation,

in-store graphics, photogrpahy, art, and all p.o.p.

signage.

Everything a customer sees, touches, hears,

smells, and even tastes, informs my decisions

for store and shop designs, visual displays,

merchandising strategies, photography, way-

finding and price signage, and field/feet

directives.

i have been both fortunate and grateful to have:

-managed teams of 26 and 2.

-Managed and maintained budgets of $2m-$125M

annually.

-opened hundreds of new stores, both brand

flagships and meat of the business neighborhood

mall venues, all on time and on, or under budget.

if you’re looking for a results-driven performer

to deliver an environment that defines a brand,

lifts profits, conversion, margin, and brand

awareness, then i would like to work with you!
